rong Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 If you don't know what it is then deny it, you can always allow it later if you need to, saying that a quick google leads me to think it may be something to do with sound.

gm70 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Here is your answer :Dandsome, from what I understand from your link, is that, if it's a Wbem file within System 32, it's ok? It is in my System32 folder.--- rong, I understood about denying it at the moment, the other part of your response has me baffled. Did you mean you googled the name of the file 'Wmiprvse.exe? gm70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 If it is legitimate it should be in C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbemSize 213 KB (218,112 bytes)Size on Disk 216 KB (221,184 bytes)......... and be Version 5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp.080413-2108)I'm using XP Pro (with SP3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
