Hi I noticed that there three wmiprvse tasks running in task manager, 2 open in the same location, but the third one opens in a different location. Am I infected?

WMI Provider Host will spawn several processes whenever necessary, this is normal. To be sure you can goto https://www.virustotal.com/ an upload the files to see if they are in fact clean.

Oh yea forgot all about virustotal, thanks :) p.s it won't let me give you anymore rep points but thank you.
