Dear Sergey,

It's simple: the 4 PID's aren't always coming from the COM objects, but
1. "runsvc" - is the first executeable which creates the service COM object,
2. "service" - is the first COM object, which starts the .exe again with an other parameter
3. "runtask" - is the "test.exe x" executable again which creates the task COM object,
4. "task" - the task COM object, which "executes" the task

so, as the documentation states out of process COM object should run in their own context, not in the creator's, not in an other objects. That's why there should be 4 different PID's.
