Windows XP >> Is inetsrv.exe a legi Win file? Hi,

I recently found this file inetsrv.exe is attempting to access Internet and
did a search on the net with mixed results.

Some articles referred it as a worm and some said it is a legit Win service
program.

I understand that some malware could fake themselves as a legit file, but my
question is, is there such a file belong to XP Pro?

Thanks.

Windows XP812

server bundled with winxp pro)
