windows services running

Hi there.
I have searched the forum but couldn't find anything that would involve services that are on the PC, do they present a security risk.
I am running a XP and with "tasklist /svc" command in the command prompt these are the services that came up.
Does anyone know if they represent any threat, which one (if any)?

System...........................N/A
smss.exe.........................N/A
csrss.exe .......................N/A
winlogon.exe....................N/A
services.exe....................Eventlog, PlugPlay
lsass.exe....................PolicyAgent, ProtectedStorage, SamSs
svchost.exe....................DcomLaunch
svchost.exe....................RpcSs
svchost.exe....................AudioSrv, CryptSvc, Dhcp, dmserver,
........................................EventSystem, Netman, Nla, RasMan,

explorer.exe....................N/A
svchost.exe ....................stisvc
notepad.exe....................N/A
tasklist.exe ....................N/A

p.s. I run windows updates manually, so update service isn't here

Thanks

The BlackViper site is for advanced users only as it generally prescribes turning Windows services on and/or off, this is not a good reference point for someone looking for an issue with a particular service that may be a problem.
