Windows Live Remote Service
What is Windows Live Remote Service?
Remote Service is part of the Windows Live Essentials suite of applications, is primarily a tool for keeping your files, folders and bookmarks synchronized between multiple machines and Microsoft's own SkyDrive online storage service. But it can also provide remote users with access to their local PC; similar in function to Remote Desktop.
Overview
Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 16 files and is usually about 1.99 MB (2,087,936 bytes).
