This site is alright I guess, if you just want to know if the program is malware. But tons of sites do that. Any site wanting to distinguish itself will also include what the legit programs actually do for them.

@Valued Customer: Sorry, I don't know what the wmiAppSrv.exe file does. It looks a bit suspicious since the VBA32 anti-virus scanner detects it as "Trojan.MSIL.gen.15". But that could also be a false positive.

Anyway, if you have wmiAppSrv.exe on your machine, please upload it to VirusTotal to see if the anti-virus programs there detect anything.

Please let us know what you find out.

Thank you for the feedback!
