C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs - automatic necessary?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

After finally upgrading my Win XP Pro to SP2, I'm trying to turn off the
services I don't want to run.

Is this service necessary? I am not on a network and I'm using third
part AV and Firewall.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

And, is there a reliable site to help one determine what services can be
made to either start manually or not at all, where I could sort some
more of this out?

Thanks.

Louise
