Vulnerability Development: Re: Win2K Local DoS?

[LordRaYden <rayden () plex nl>]

Hello,

You can kill the process by logging off and then logging in again, this will
kill the services.exe and return the CPU state to normal usage.
Also i didn't find a way to kill the process without logging in or off
again.
