Updating Admin Credentials from services.msc
When GFI WebMonitor is installed, the following Windows services are created:
- GFI Proxy
- GFI WebMonitor Core Service
An account with Administrative privileges is required by the GFI WebMonitor Core Service to control internal security engines, manage updates, notifications and User Interface. These credentials are configured after installation using the Configuration Wizard. For more information refer to Using the Post-installation Configuration Wizard.
NOTE
The GFI Proxy service should use the Local System Account.
