System Processes in XP? NetTsk.exe?

I have noticed that when looking at my processes directly after boot, I see NetTsk.exe. I can't seem to get any results when searching Yahoo for this process, however, all of the others return results.

I have scanned with Ad Ware, Spybot, Registry Mechanic and various "online" scans. Nothing shows anything negative, however when I don't end this process it jacks my CPU usage up into the 90's and lags my system badly.

If someone could please explain exactly what NetTsk.exe is, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

First please get Spybot S&D to clear out most of the spyware.

Short tutorial and download link here:
http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/

Fix everything SpybotSD labels in red.

Then after reboot:
Download 'Hijack This!'. http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Unzip to a permanent folder, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here. Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.
then post the log here
