There are different files with the same name:

  • "NvSvc" is not required to run at start up. NVIDIA Driver Helper Service - installed when you change from the WDM drivers to nVidia's latest versions but not requied. Extreme shutdown delays can be encountered with this service active, but no adverse side effects with it disabled. NOTE: If using drivers other than nVidia's, such as Asus, this service may have been renamed to reflect that
  • "Symantec Security Addon" definitely not required. Added by a variant of the AGOBOT/GAOBOT WORM!
