Hello and Happy New Year to all!

I am using winxp home version, have builtin firewall in
operation, Plus another software based firewall checkit.
What does this warning message mean from event viewer in
admin for applications. Any help is greatly appreciated.

'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.'

Is it anything to be concerned about? I hope not. Thanks
and stay away from pina colada's they catch up with you!!

Tony
