Do you know what wmiprvse.exe is?

[Academia]

When I brought my system out of Hibernation today there was much disk
activity so I opened the Task Manager and the process wmiprvse.exe was using
much CPU under the user name NETWORK SERVICES.

I have 2 types of network cards but they are disabled so the only network
thing that is enabled is the internet telephone com card.

Do you know what wmiprvse.exe is?



Thanks
