For anyone who has a newer computer as I do and has UEFI or EFI as the case may be, you might find this link useful. It will not be long where bios will be replaced and EFI will be the standard.

It's all bad news for Windows users. Malwarebytes has an excellent article on how crooks trick you. You need to boot into Linux Lite quick! Done? Good. Coffee's getting cold.

jerry[member=2]Jerry[/member]-VirtualBox:~$

Stop a service (needs both the stop and disable flag)
eg. If you don't have or need Bluetooth:

Code:
sudo systemctl stop bluetooth.service
sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service

Confirm the service has been stopped:

Code:
jerry[member=2]Jerry[/member]-VirtualBox:~$ systemctl status bluetooth.service
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:bluetoothd(

May 19 21:33:04 jerry-VirtualBox systemd[1]: Stopped Bluetooth service.
jerry[member=2]Jerry[/member]-VirtualBox:~$

A disabled service can be started by another service. If you really want it dead, without uninstalling it, then you can mask it to prevent it from starting under any circumstances:

Code:
jerry[member=2]Jerry[/member]-VirtualBox:~$ sudo systemctl mask bluetooth.service
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/bluetooth.service to /dev/null.
