Thanks 
There is so much crap running in the background these days it's hard to tell what should be there and what shouldn't!

inetinfo.exe is IIS this is installed as default on some OS's and by option on others. Used to be part of the NT 4 option pack, and then came with the OS's as standard later on.
You can disable this in services if you dont need to run (host) web pages from your machine.
