If you kill FNPLicensingService, you will not be able to use the Adobe 
Acrobat Reader.  Adobe has made the incredibly stupid decision to have 
the Acrobat Reader "phone home" now and then using this service, and if 
it is not present, Acrobat simply refuses to run.

Scrcons.exe is part of WMI.  Why do you want to kill it?
