  1. Sink to receive asynchronous callbacks for WMI client application running in different processes. WMI, Windows Management Instrumentation, enables software developers to write scripts and programs for the management or querying of devices, user accounts, Windows services, running programs, networking, and many other internal technical aspects of Windows - in other words the sort of work TUT does (for example : TUT, The Ultimate Troubleshooter, uses WMI to retrieve all the information that it shows on the System Info tab).

    This particular task, UNSECAPP.EXE, is started by Windows Vista when a program needs to use WMI programming - it provides programs with a conduit (sink) to receive from Windows the results of their WMI queries and commands.

    : Leave alone - if this program is running it is because Windows Vista started it automatically in order to support a program that is using WMI.


  2. WMI is the Windows Management Interface, and is part of the operating system itself.

    If you right-click on the entry in Task Manager, then select Properties, and then Details, you can se the Microsoft-embedded version information of the file.

    To answer your question, it is not Spyware, and it is not Phone Home software either.
