What is this all about, from a Warning in Event Viewer?
==================================================================
A provider, OffProv, has been registered in the WMI namespace, Root\MSAPPS,
to use the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged and the provider
may cause a security violation if it does not correctly impersonate user
requests.

Hi
Windows Management Instrumentation system (WMI/WBEM) is just giving a "normal"
security warning.
OffProv (c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\msinfo\offpro.exe) is
MicroSoft Office Data Provider for WBEM, and it has added itself to the WMI
namespace.
