Hi there,

Is there a WMI class where giving a provider write is potentially harmful?

Perhaps we have a terminology problem. A Wmi provider
runs with system privileges and is a potentially hazardous
bit of software to add onto the WMI system, hence the
event messages when new providers not shipped with the
OS get tied into the WMI system.
