Msec ain't a service you run, it is a script that sets security permissions, and I bet you ran it durring the install. Do you remember a question where one of the possible answers was "paraniod"? or "open to crackers"? or "should only be used on workstations not connected to a network"? as I understand it.... that was msec where you picked the security level for the box. maybe it is only under expert install, since I never yet (maybe this weekend I will give it a try, just for grins) have installed as "recomended".
