All comments about the file:
  Wavemaster Microsoft's WMDM PMSP Service, aka Windows Media Device Manager Pre-Message Security Protocol Service. This services enables Windows Media Player to support the SDMI protocol (Secure Digital Music Initiative) when copying CDs or packaging copyrighted downloaded music to SDMI compliant music players and storage devices. Recommendation : This process takes at least 1.2Mb of memory - you can disable it.  See also: Link
  Psychodonovan This is pretty harmless and a part of Microsoft's Windows Media Player. However it occupies space in your memory and doesn't actually serve you the consumer in any way... Disabling it won't harm your system in anyway and will free up some RAM. So yes, disable it!
  SelvaKumar.A This is used to avoid (CD-Rom/DVD) piracy.  See also: Link
  A.SivaKumar Belongs to Microsoft digital rights management system. All communication requests (copying, playing) between an application and the portable audio player must go through Windows Media Device Manager.  See also: Link

  Andrei Rouliakov The most annoying thing about this service is that it is not uninstalled after you uninstall Windows Media Player 7? and just takes up space and memory. There is a built-in way to uninstall it though. Just type "mspmspsv -u" from the command prompt (without quotation marks) and follow the on-screen instructions.
