WMI is the Windows Management Interface, and is part of the operating system itself.

If you right-click on the entry in Task Manager, then select Properties, and then Details, you can se the Microsoft-embedded version information of the file.

To answer your question, it is not Spyware, and it is not Phone Home software either.
