Agreed you can do it yourself assuming you know what each service does and which are safe to terminate. I've heard of people who have stopped/disabled the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service thinking it wasnt important...couldnt boot their PCs after they rebooted.

However, the benefit of using such programs is the convenience of disabling several services with one click that you may have need of when not gaming, certainly quicker than going back and forth to the control panel and starting/stopping services.
