I guess,

Process is a logical flow of actions to complete a particular job.
Service is completing a group of logically related jobs in a particular domain.

Re: What is difference?

Ok. To put things in a better way, one can crudely say that A service is collection of processes. Like a service can invoke several processes.

Another thing is that services will be registered with windows(OS) as service. So, we can also say that we can register a process as service.

Some more explaination can be found here...
