One application that calls winmgmt.exe is the PCHealth Scheduler for Data
Collection. If you have not already done so you might want to consider
disabling this after reading what follows.

PCHealth Scheduler for Data Collection:
The PCHealth entry in MSConfig | Startup and also in the Task Scheduler,
refers to the PCHealth Scheduler for Data Collection routine (pchschd.exe)
which launches winmgmt.exe to collect software and hardware configuration
data
that can be accessed using Help & Support's System Information's History
view.
In other words it allows you to see changes over a period of time to your
system such as drivers. The details collected are contained in the files
CollectedData???.xml files in the folder
...\windows\pchealth\helpctr\DataColl.

Note that all that pchschd.exe is doing every ten minutes is checking if
the
system is idle or not. If idle it launches winmgmt.exe to collect the
information and sets itself to run again in 6 hours, if not it continues
to
run at ten minute intervals until it finds the system is idle.

As to whether you need this historic data or not, only you can decide. A
number of us have long since decided to disable pchschd.exe having no use
for
the collected data. It should be noted that if you contact MS or an OEM
for
help that it is possible that they might request you send them these
files.
If you do choose to disable pchschd.exe it is ESSENTIAL to delete/disable
it
from both MSConfig | Startup and the Task Scheduler as otherwise the
startup
entry will recreate the Task Scheduler entry when the system is rebooted.

One advantage of disabling the PCHealth Scheduler is that it minimizes the
chances of winmgmt.exe causing problems. What happens is that quite often
winmgmt.exe doesn't exit correctly when it has finished but instead
remains
resident and using cpu cycles.

Note also that disabling these entries does NOT affect either System
Restore
or System File Protect, nor AutoUpdate or your ability to use Help &
Support,
all part of what Microsoft call "PCHealth".

It appears that you may have picked up a variation of the odious CoolWebSearch
hijacker. Possibly Variant 24. CWS.Control at
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html and also
http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp.

Download and use CWShredder, merijn's removal tool from either:
http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip
or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

You may also need to replace control.exe and rundll32.exe with new copies.

Control.exe is contained in WIN_16.CAB and Rundll32.exe in WIN_17.CAB of the
Win Me cab set and can be restored using MSConfig | General | Extract File ...
and following the prompts. The "cab" files are in the Win9x folder on the Win
Me CD and/or in a sub-folder of Windows\Options. See MS KB129605 - "HOW TO:
Extract Original Compressed Windows Files"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=129605).
