Why 3 threads for a basic single threaded c# console app?

Steps:

  1. Created a Console Application (c#) in .net.

  2. Wrote the below 3-4 lines of code in Program.cs

    class Program {

        static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        HelloWorkd();
        Console.Read();
    }
    static void HelloWorkd()
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
    }

    }

  3. Build the project, in debug mode.

  4. Browsed to the .exe that is generated and start it.
  5. Started Task Manager, and had a look the process in which this exe is running. And it shows that 3 thread are running in this application!!!

Question: How come a simple program is showing three threads? I can accept 2 threads here, one for GC and other for my console, what is the third thread doing?

Thanks for your interest.
