Service Control Manager – SCM.EXE

Scm.exe is the Microsoft Service Control Manager. It can stop, start, or pause services at your request or during the system boot process. More information can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/service_control_manager.asp.

If you use Windows 2000, you may need a security patch to fix a vulnerability in the Service Control Manager. More information can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS00-053.mspx.

We'd recommend leaving this file in place. Removing it could make your system unstable.
