Windows 7 Service Guide is up

Have now put up a Windows 7 Service Guide, with a lot of help from the BlackViper.com website. It is pretty much the existing Vista Service Guide with some extra services (19 services in total).

Also added two small Win7 tips:

Btw. if using AVG 8.5 and is tired of the nagging popup-offer about upgrading from the free version to the full version, then it can be removed with the following steps:

Go the install folder of AVG and browse to the Notification folder:
C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8\Notification
Create a new sub-folder called upgrade-oportunity-avg85:
C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8\Notification\upgrade-oportunity-avg85
Move all files newer than the 1 July 2009 from the Notification folder to the upgrade-oportunity-avg85 folder. This should include files like:
- style.css
- upgrade-oportunity-avg85-message1.html
- upgrade-oportunity-avg85-message2.html
- upgrade-oportunity-avgavf85.gif
- upgrade-oportunity-avgis85.gif

I guess the market for low price antivirus packages will disappear, when Microsoft release their own free product Security Essentials (Currently in beta stage).
