    1) If you are browsing from remotely via network anonymously, iusr a/c will
    be a member for this group. refer -
    -Network
    Represents users currently accessing a given resource over the network (as
    opposed to users who access a resource by logging on locally at the computer
    where the resource is located). Whenever a user accesses a given resource
    over the network, the user is automatically added to the Network group.

    -Interactive
    Represents all users currently logged on to a particular computer and
    accessing a given resource located on that computer (as opposed to users who
    access the resource over the network). Whenever a user accesses a given
    resource on the computer to which they are currently logged on, the user is
    automatically added to the Interactive group.

    2) any user access via network will be a member of this special group. and
    yes this a risk. the basic rule of NTFS is only assign to those user that
    required such permissions. ONLY assign to required users.

    3) refer #1

    4) refer #2, for web resource directory with purely read access, remove this
    as well. if you had different sites with different user upload, then you
    might want to include this to allow users to control their own
    files/folders.

    5) In IIS5.0 isolation mode, iwam is the process identity of out of process
    application. e.g. running the dllhost.exe. Network service function the same
    which run the w3wp.exe worker processing in the IIS 6.0 WP mode. these are
    process identity, you still need iusr a/c for anonymous access.
