MpsSvc service?

I have Vista and in my Task Manager (Services tab) there is an item
called MpsSvc and the Description says "Windows Firewall."

And in msconfig under Services tab, there is also an item called
"Windows Firewall"

I have my Firewall turned OFF through the Control Panel/Security
Center.

I found some articles saying MpsSvc service has to do with MS
LiveOneCare which I don't have. Do those "Windows Firewall" services
also have to do with LiveOneCare?
 
It's incorrectly stated. LiveOneCare "uses" the Windows Firewall,
incorporating this native service into its routine.

Hi,

The MpsSvc service has nothing to do with LiveOneCare and is part of the
native firewall.

My firewall is turned off - should MpsSvc be running anyway?

This page says it does have to do with liveonecare:

Hi,

The MpsSvc process is the Windows Firewall, it runs as a service. Even if
disabled, it will still show on the services tab, it will just show as
stopped.

Actually, the service is marked as "Running" in both Task Manager and
MSCONFIG.
