Delete leftover services
Normally, when you uninstall an application it should remove all associated services automatically. Unfortunately, in practice this not always works.
For example, after removing McAfee antivirus you may end up with couple of leftover services that do absolutely nothing.
Such services can be removed manually from the command prompt.

Can't delete service - OpenService FAILED 5: Access is denied
I hit this error while trying to delete a leftover McAfee Validation Trust Protection Service using sc delete "mfevtp" command.
This is how I resolved the issue:
- Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
- Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mfevtp
mfevtp is the KeyName of the service you having problem with (the same you use with sc delete command) - Delete sub-key called "Security"
Allways make a registry backup befory deleting any keys - Restart computer
After reboot sc delete "mfevtp" completed without any errors and service was gone for good.
