For the millionth time, it has nothing to do with Windows

For the millionth time, these are things that are included with Windows by default, and often you don't even know it. While I was working at a regional security emergency response team (overseeing mostly Windows boxes, over 50,000 of them), one of the problems we came across was that IIS would be installed by accident if you installed other components. This was a problem in that organization since running web services was forbidden without permission.

Coming from a guy who doesn't even know about Windows security templates, I'm not surprised you don't know what's running on your servers.
