BAsfIpM.exe is a non-essential process installed with Broadcom communications hardware. It is the Broadcom ASF IP Monitoring Service. Version 3.0.2.0 is known to have driver conflicts that may cause system instability. Please update your drivers if you have this version.

Yes, there is a legitimate file out there with this name, however, none of my other communications files have been updated in over 6 months. This file shows a created date of 3 years ago, and was only recently detected by WinPatrol. Seriously, run a good scanner telling it to SCAN ALL files on your system. I was surprised.

I think it has something to do with computrace (lojack) so they can locate a stolen laptop via isp
