Hi all

I have been asked by Valve to remove WinMgmt.exe from my
C:\WINNT\system32\wbem directory. This is to resolves Steam games from
disconencting abruptly while connecting from a server.

Using windows 2000 pro sp4.
Have googled for answer but found not articles on how this can be done.
NOD32, Spybot & Ad-Aware do not report this as spyware.
Your help appreciated.

Here is a description of Steam diag results valve have asked to run on the
pc;
---------
Background Processes: Failed
The following background processes were found on your system. Please try
exiting or uninstalling them, and see if that resolves your issue
Process: winMgmt.exe
GAIN (Gator) Spyware can cause problems with Steam or cause lag issues
Severity: Low
