Thank You for Your Service: Creating a Persistent Isolated Windows Service

Windows Services are powerful little beasts, and if you work under Windows, it’s hard not to encounter them. However, powerful as Services may be, when it comes to isolated Services, trouble is coming your way: As I was developing a new Anti-Virus, which should constantly run and restart, the isolated service failed to restart after shutting down the PC. Yeh – calling this issue a problem is an understatement. So, I decided to come up with a solution, in an effort to create a persistent Service which always restarts. I call it Weeble-Service, named after the famous Weeble-Wobble doll which never falls.
