HiPerfCooker

What does this warning mean: Event Viewer: Application: Warning: WinMgmt:
Event 63: A provider, HiPerfCooker_v1, has been registered in the WMI
namespace, Root\WMI, to use the local system account. This account is
privileged and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not
correctly impersonate user requests.

That's what i'd like to know i have the same warning in my event veiwer.

I believe it is a warning that the named program can be run by other users as
the current user. It may provide a point for priviledge elevation (someone on
a guest account, say, being able to install programs) but only if the program
contains an exploit...

If the program is trusted, there is not really anything to worry about. I
can't seem to find _what_ the program is, I imagine it's a Microsoft thing?

Does anyone know what it is or what it does?
