External information from Paul Collins:
There are different files with the same name:

  • "ENCMONITOR" is not required to run at start up. The Encompass Monitor. This program is the Connect Direct Program.  It is more trouble than it is worth and few use it
  • "monitor" definitely not required. Browser hijacker, redirecting to NCM Search
  • "Pagis Scheduler" is not required to run at start up. Scheduler for the Pagis scanning suite from Scansoft. 

Important: Some malware camouflage themselves as Monitor.exe, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the Monitor.exe process on your pc whether it is pest. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security.

If the file is in C:\Program Files\Ulead, then it's one of their programs that's running. Most likely the Memory Card monitor.

If this file is runned from location "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZoneLabs\avsys", (Monitor.exe) it's ok. It's a part of new ZoneAlarm V 7.x firewall, I think. Not harmful! Spybot didn't recognize that file as any kind of spyware aso. Ad-Aware didn't either recognize this file as spyware aso.

If it is C:\Acer\Empowering Technology\eRecovery\Monitor.exe, then it is mostly harmless. But it is known to misbehave if the D: partition is removed.
