"..no traces of anti-virus, spyware,or malware.." ??...
What do you mean by that?
Do you mean that you can't find any trace of any infections?
OR
Do you mean that this computer doesn't have ANY anti-virus, anti-spyware or anti-malware programs installed?
I only ask because your 'wmiprvse.exe' may well be a rogue program.
