What is the Exact Role of IUSER?

If i set a directory as writable by IUSER, is it vulnerable to being comprimised by anonymous users? if so how could this be done? I want to understand this better.
Who exactly are "IUSER"s? Whats the difference between IUSER and IWAM?

Any iformation on this is greatly appreciated.

IUSER, is used as a backdoor by microsoft to spy on you,
this alows the programmers to hack your PC and get inside to steel your idenity, you credit information, even listen to what your saying by revers engineering you speakers and making them microphones.

I guess I should have asked what are the vulerablilties of IUSER. From what i can tell it does allow access to the directory or file by means that can be exploited easily if set to writable. Would this be correct? if so, what can i do to allow directories to be written to by scripts without risk of being compromised.
