Can cause intermittant stuttering in sound as well as slowing down mouse movement. It's possible to identify that IAANTmon.exe is the problem by watching its useage in Task Manager and noting if it's on when sound problems begin..

Part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager software. Makes your SATA (e.g. HDs) work optimally. You can disable in StartUp but not advisable. NOT a dangerous program!
