Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provides a set of extensions to the Windows Driver Model (WDM) that provides an interface through which instrumented components can provide information and notifications by setting up a conduit in which to transfer information.

WMI allows scripting languages like VBScript to manage Microsoft Windows PCs and server systems, both locally and remotely. WMI is preinstalled in Windows 2000 and newer Operating Systems. Microsoft also provides a command line interface to manage WMI interface.

This process task called Unsecapp.exe is started by Windows when a program needs to use WMI programming. What is does is that it provides programs with a conduit or sink/channel to receive the results of their WMI queries and commands from Windows.

The sink’s job is to receive asynchronous callbacks for WMI client application running in different processes. WMI enables software developers to write scripts and programs for the management or querying of devices, user accounts, Windows services, running programs, networking, and many other internal technical aspects of Windows.

In some occasion, this process acts as the Trojan horse known as w32/sonebot-b that locates itself within %Windows%\System32 folder. Such occurrences results to errors of this process resulting in virus infection, which allows attackers, and hackers access one’s personal data, passwords as well as Internet banking information. To check for such threats, a user should open the security task manager and access the situation. Normally Wmiprvse.exe occurs within C:\Windows\System32 subfolder.

One should not remove this program from the computer system because it enhances a stable and secure running of the computer system however; one should not hesitate to remove it in case an error or virus threat presents itself. One way of identifying errors related to this program is through the registry scan. A user can run the registry scan, which lists all errors present in the system. After recognizing some errors, one can take the appropriate action.

Another way of searching errors related to this program is running a performance scan. The scan also helps in optimization of system’s central processing unit, the memory as well as Internet settings. These scanners are available in the website free. Therefore, one should not hesitate to run these scans. One possible cause of occurrence of Wmiprvse.exe errors is outdated computer drivers. To check for such, one should run a driver update tool, which lists and updates all outdated drivers within the computer.

In normal circumstances, the folder utilizes a large capacity of the central processing unit. Wmiprvse.exe runs in the background. It is ideal for use by managers and people in the enterprise world because of its ability to manage large amount of information. Depending on one’s requirement, he/she can set the program to give reports on the desktop.
