an event question

[Guest]

I was in Event viewer on my computer and an event
happened that said: "A provider has been registered in
the WMI Namespace to use the LocalSystem account. This
account is privileged and the provider my cause a
security violation if it does not correctly impersonate
user requests."
What does this mean?

Usually it means you've just installed an application that will use system
accounts to operate. Installing MS Office, for example, will add this
notice into Event Viewer.
