while installing a virus scanner, my computer crashed(memory dump).. i checked services under the admin tools and i found there were 2 services created by the installer.. since the installation program crashed on me once, i dont' think i'll try to install it again.. i want to delete the services that were left by the installer, but there were no deletion command.. does anyone know how to remove/delete a service?
 
Not too sure how to delete a service but you could just disable them so they don't start a bootup. Goto Control Panel->Admin Tools-Services->select the service in question, set startup type to disabled.

However, I'm sure there must be a registry hack to delete a service.
 
I believe there is a command line utility in the resource kit that can delete a service. Sorry I can't remember which one it is right now.
 
Disable the service first, then reboot.

Open the registry (regedit or regedt32) goto HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

Find the offending services and delete the appropriate key.
