vssvc.exe is a process belonging to the Volume Shadow Copy service implemented into Windows XP and onwards. This service allows files which are modified to be backed up automatically by the operating system.
This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated. More info about this process can be found directly on MSDN pages :http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb968832(v=vs.85).aspx
"The Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is a set of COM interfaces that implements a framework to allow volume backups to be performed while applications on a system continue to write to the volumes. VSS provides a consistent interface that allows coordination between user applications that update data on disk (writers) and those that back up applications (requesters)."
