What is INETINFO.exe?

When IIS runs in worker process isolation mode,Inetinfo.exe is a user-mode component that hosts the IIS metabase and that also hosts the non-Web services of IIS 6.0, including the FTP service, the SMTP service, and the NNTP service. Inetinfo.exe depends on IIS Admin service to host the metabase. In IIS, regardless of the application isolation mode used, the services that run in Inetinfo.exe run as DLLs under the Local System account.

About INETINFO.exe (from Microsoft)

“IIS (Internet Information Services) is a secure, reliable, and scalable Web server that provides an easy to manage platform for developing and hosting Web applications and services.”
