Hello Nihil

I downloaded winpatrol and have found it good to look around and see what is going on. I am a late starter in computers(I am studying at the moment) and try to read and learn without asking stupid questions but one has to arise. I was looking at the active programs and there was wmiexe.exe running. I have done a google search only to find conflicting attitudes towards this program some say it is needed others say to delete it and the dll which makes start up take so long. There even seems to be conflicting reports about what this thing does.
To delete or not delete that is the question?
Many thanks
