What is an example of a Windows Service application?

A Windows Service application runs in the background and is designed to provide services to other applications or operate without user intervention. Antivirus software is a prime example of a Windows Service because it continuously monitors for threats, updates its database, and performs scans while the system is running, all without requiring user input. This ensures that the antivirus software can provide real-time protection and maintain its operations even when no user is logged in to the system.

In contrast, email client software, a web browser, and word processing applications are designed for interaction with the user and are not intended to run independently in the background. These types of applications typically wait for user commands, require a graphical user interface, and cannot operate without user intervention, making them unsuitable examples of Windows Service applications.
