Stopping unwanted services from starting AT ALL

[MuF]

I'm sure someone has a way to get rid of programs. If not, you're screwed.

and if I don't want to get rid of the program?

I'll give an example:
game named: Sketch Online
(great little game where you guess what other draw or they guess what you draw)

however - for a reason I'm not aware of it is turned always on. After I kill it it starts again (or maybe doesn't get killed - dunno).

Solution is to uninstall the app - okay, but I want to use the app - but I want to use it on-demand.

It's like on PC when you install Adobe Reader - it installs resident updater and whatnot - I've disabled it with CCleaner right after the installation has fineshed but the Reader works even without that crapware. App = yes, resident crap = no.

I know it has been a while since someone posted on this thread but I would personally love to see a root app like startup auditor that actually prevents the service from starting rather than just continuously killing it every time it starts (which, in itself, is obviously a huge waste of resources). It would be even better if Google would integrate the ability to run selected apps "on-demand" but I highly doubt that would ever happen...
