Hi Joseph!
There are some services using inetinfo.exe:
* www-service
* iis-admin-service
* ftp-service
* ms-smtp (?)

If you're running an unpatched version of inetinfo you're of course
vulnerable to worms an so on. Search your registry in the
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services Section to identify the service.
Check logfiles in system32\inetsrv\logfiles (default path).

Good luck!
Martin
