I have no first hand experience with this service, but it's not a standard
service in XP, Vista or MS Office. It's possible it was installed with
that accounting software. Here is a link to a Google search about that
service.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=sql+server+vss+writer

Have you got a response from the forum you posted to and did you post to
that other forum for Windows Accounting Software?

I can't say what other programs disabling this service will affect.
Obviously monitor it and see what happens, but unless you installed some
other particular software that needs it, things should be fine. At some
point, if it's not needed, you'll want to uninstall that service. Some of
those links in that Google search or input from those two forums might help
you.
