I would never harm anyone or their system.
What about the author/developer of that code, a Yuri Popov from Russia? Roughly half of 75 security software vendors have flagged or detected this as malware/trojan with a high confidence score. e.g.
VirusTotal Report
Joe's Sandbox Automated Report
It's obviously not code from Microsoft or distributed in any updates for Windows. What does it do and why do we need it?
Dude, take deep breath. You posted a link that describes what the thing does:
DynamicWrapperX is an ActiveX component (COM server) inspired by DynamicWrapper, which I wrote as an attempt to better implement the idea. It allows to call functions exported by DLL libraries, in particular Windows API functions, from scripts in JScript and VBScript.
Personally I would add something after allows:
allows you
allows people
allows one
allows script-writers
I have no clue which API calls ProblemChyld uses in his various scripts, but it's not difficult to see why that could be useful. That said, it has the potential to be abused. It likely has been by other people. The ping tool in Windows could be abused. The command prompt could be abused. Scripts could be abused. Basically, Windows itself could be abused. Now, in the modern day, MS and various freaks who play nursemaid to everyone have decided that the techniques used to employ such a useful tool is bad. That's all you're looking at.
What I'm attempting to point out:

Heh, I ran a bunch of old (and, yes official) Microsoft EXE files through ClamAV, many of them set it off.
Essentially things that MS used to do / techniques MS used to employ, as a matter of course, are now getting flagged as bad/malware/viruses...
The older this stuff get, the more it's gonna get flagged. Also, Winders Defender previously would go off if you downloaded SP3 and, if you read why, it was basically labelling it 'Abandonware'. Microsoft is a fucking joke.
Also, this has been going on for a while:
