Explanation (?):

The SNMP service allows a Windows server to respond to the simple network management protocol (SNMP). If you aren't aware of what it is, SNMP allows administrators to monitor and manage network performance. If you're using SNMP then leave this set to automatic, and if you're not then you should uninstall this feature.
