WMI taking a lot of CPU usage

Q

I'm wondering if anyone know what is causing this. like it would use up 30-40% of my cpu usage . It's okay if i'm not doing anything but it get's annoying while gaming as it kinda drops my frames.

A User with same problem says he found the problem to be a malware named Conduit Search

If you have an HP computer test if disabling wireless fixes it, if it does you may need to disable HP Wireless Assistant

You can check the dependencies of WmiPrvSE.exe with ProcessExplorer and see what services is it related to
