Index Searches/sec activity

Why is there frequent Index Searches/sec activity when there isn't activity on the SQL Server 2005 machine? This counter spikes at about 70 approximately every second.

Typically this is due to the SQL Server background tasks such as index ghost record cleanup task or service broker background task. They usually scan the metadata which causes index activities.
