From security evaluation:

Unnecessary services introduce weaknesses. Default software installations often start up services that are not needed. These services may be used to garner information about the system, or may have a default configuration that allows unintentional access to a system.

Disable/remove unnecessary services.

Services should be audited on installed systems. If possible, start with all services disabled and add the ones that are required. Or, at a minimum, services that are not required should be disabled.
