As long as you are comfortable with having MS Office (at
least in part) installed, then this is no big issue.
What you are seeing is an informative message from the
WMI system to let you know that some, potentially non-MS
and/or potentially dangerous (to security or privacy) code
has registered to be run within WMI with elevated privs.
In this case it is fine - but that does not mean it always is fine.
