can anyone explain briefly to me the functionality of the above applications?
NT Kernel & System - It's related to Windows NT and above OS. NT is the generic name for any Windows OS starting from Windows NT. Basically, it's the kernel of Windows.
Generic Host Process for Win32 Services - As its name suggests, it's just a generic process. The process name is
svchost.exe. It's used by lots of programs and is needed for Windows stability. Your Internet, you logging in to your PC, scheduled tasks, etc are all handled by this process. Win32 just mean 32-bit applications. Services are the services that start on startup. To see a list of services, go to Start > Run and type in
services.msc.
NDIS User Mode I/O Driver - Windows Networking Driver. Without it, you can't access the Net.
