i have windows 7 home premium and was poking around in the services and saw the server service, and thought that i bet i don't need it. it looks like it's for sharing resources. i have a stand alone pc, and can't think of a reason i would want to share anything. in fact, sharing resources sounds like a potential security problem.<br />

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.
