ever since version 7.2 (we're on 7.8 now, i beleive) ATI put in the program MOM.exe to replace cli.exe as a performance monitor. this is ALSO the name of a surveillance spyware which can take pictures of your desktop for unwanted eyes. it's a quick fix, just make sure that mom.exe us running from your ATI technologies folder, and nothing else. it doesn't hurt anything when you terminate the program via task manager.

so, if you use ATI, and see only one MOM.exe running, chances are you're safe! but, if you're NOT running ATI... Neutral


i contracted the malicious mom.exe the other day, it was under C:/program files/mom (very inventive...) easy delete.
