Have been using it for years to run webservers. If you don't know what it is, you shouldn't be running it, as without proper security measures, IIS can be a way into your PC for virii (see link) Going into services and setting IISAdmin, and webserver to disabled will cure it for you.

When my computer slows down I kill inetinfo process and then everything is ok. Like tolga said, just uninstall, if you don't need it.

The version in System32 folder is used as a server connection for maintaining web pages. Ok if one is networked into several other computers, but if you're on a standalone, it's a royal pain in the rear. Tim has the correct solution. I used his advice and solved my problem. If inetinfo.exe shows itself in any other folder besides System32, delete it.! It's a nasty worm. Not the real thing. Either way, they're both nuisances.

Part of MS IIS on Server2000 with Exchange Server 2000. Consumes about 80% of the memory some times and causes the server to work VERY slowly. Microsoft knows this and wil include this in SP4 for Exchange. see this article

A legitimate system file as well as a virus that will exploit this particular file to gather your emails and possibly install a trojan. Good luck figuring out which one yours does...

Microsoft Internet Infomation Services debugger. Consumes 100% of CPU. Just another MS buggy program.
