EagleGet 2.0.4.90 Stable has been released.

EagleGet is a multi-functional downloader that can download any media file. It is released as free software.

EagleGet is software produced in the People's Republic of China.

It is not recommended to use it as it is because it has a habit.

According to me,

The EagleGet installer installs the following programs as services.

egGetSvc
Luminati Net Updater

egGetSvc and Luminati Net Updater are set to run at the same time when the Windows OS starts.

Well, the main subject.

How to remove a service

If you perform the steps in the previous section, egGetSvc, Luminati Net Updater will not start.

However,

Since it is still registered in the service, there is a possibility that the setting will be changed when updating, so it is safe to delete it from the Windows service.

To delete, execute [SC delete] using the command prompt started in administrator mode.

> sc delete

Check the service name that you enter after sc delete by starting the Windows service.

Taking the snapshot in the previous section as an example, the string next to "service name" is the service name to be set in "service name (argument)" of the SC command.

It is not a "display name".

[Service name]

egGetSvc
