Description:-Provides Help and Support application and framework functionality.
The help service supports the Help and Support Center application and enables communication between the client application and the help data it accesses. This includes access to stores and services such as the taxonomy database that contains metadata and information about the help topics, the support automation framework that enables data collection for registered support providers, user history and preference information, and the search engine manager. When a user is interacting with the Help and Support Center features like search, index, table of contents, and so on, the service allows for data transaction that supports all of these features.
If this service is set to manual, launching Help and Support in the user interface will start this service. Disabling this service renders the Help and Support Center essentially unusable and the user will receive a message Windows cannot open Help and Support because a system service is not running. The user can access some topics at a high level that might have been cached on the local system, but most of the help and support application features cannot function without the help service enabled. *.HLP and *.CHM files located in the Windows\Help directory can still be viewed, however.

Description:-Enables Internet Information Services (IIS) to perform Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) functions. SSL is a proposed open standard for establishing a secure communications channel to prevent the interception of critical information, such as credit card numbers. Primarily, it enables secure electronic financial transactions on the World Wide Web, although it is designed to work on other Internet services as well. If IIS is not installed, the HTTP SSL service will depend on the HTTP driver to perform SSL functions.
If this service is stopped or disabled, If this service is stopped, the IIS service would stop . Any HTTP requests aimed for IIS would not be handled.. This service is called SSL for HTTP.SYS on Windows XP Professional.
For more information about SSL, see "Secure Web Communications", in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Internet Information Services Resource Guide.
