net.exe & net1.exe

I noticed that net.exe and net1.exe are showing up over and over again in Windows task manager. I can't disable them
there so I downloaded Process Explorer and I noticed that they're showing up (2 or 3 at a time) under my wireless network card made by netgear. I can disable them there and they're gone but I lose access to my wireless network card and once I restrart it's back again.  Any ideas of whether or not this is a security risk?

I understand your answer but I am unsure if these processes are causing problems on my machine.  If they're supposed to be there and that is normal then good.  It just seems strange that there are 3 or more of them running under my wireless card and then sometimes they just stop. Is this normal?
If you are running wireless card and other network functions, yes, a few net.exe's are normal.
