Do I Need Intel Security Assist & Other Services?


I recently clean installed W10 on my laptop. I noticed the program Intel Security Assist was installed with the Intel motherboard drivers and the following services are running:

• Intel Security Assist
• Intel Security Assist Helper
• Intel Content Protection HECI Service
• Intel Capability Licensing Service TCP/IP Interface
• Intel Management and Security Application Local Management Service

I'm wondering what all these services do, whether I really need them and if I can disable some? Please advise. I don't need any remote Intel services - only to use the Intel graphics, Intel WiFi adapter and Intel Series 8 motherboard.

Hi Danger,

After searching around, I'm realizing you are not the only one with this issue. In fact you may not even need this tool to run.

Click start, type "msconfig" and open it - then click on the services tab. Find "Interl Security Assist" and "Intel Security Assist Helper" and uncheck them. Click apply, reboot, and see if it's still chewing up your memory.
