Best Answer

Launch services.msc from a Run box or the Command Prompt to start Services, then
Find the service you want to stop.
Right-click on it, select Properties and note the "Service name" field. The "Path to executable:" field includes the name of the process.

(It might be a name like "avast! Antivirus".)

Then use net stop "avast! Antivirus" on cmd
