Windows cannot access this because you do not have the administrative access C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\1024\WmiPrvSE.exe? But, I do have access, and have never seen this happening before.
 
A dialogue box pops up after start-up, my guess is that's it's a background app trying to load up. However, I have no idea what the app is.
 
WMI:-- Windows Management Instrumention. It is a SERVICE and should be auto started. Most of it resides in \windows\system32\wmi* and that causes concern as to why you have something in your %userprofile% area - - On Win/7 SP1/Pro I have none such.
 
I second jobeard's advice. It looks like malware. Either an active infection or perhaps a leftover piece when your A/V tried to remove an infection. For Win 7 the legit copy of that file is in C:\Windows\System32\wbem. See if the file also exists there. That's the legit file
