"IPInSightLAN 01" definitely not required. Installed with Verizon DSL accounts. IP Insight is a Quality of Service monitor and diagnostic tool that isn't required - see here for more information. This one constantly "phones home" and wastes resource - hence the "X" status

Important: Some malware camouflages itself as IPClient.exe, particularly when located in the c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder.

Used by SBC for connection manager tool for Yahoo DSL. Not necessary for interent browsing or even maintaining your connection but I have noticed that my junk e-mail is consistent with the places I've browsed. I always deny it's access through Zone Alarm and never have a problem. I do believe that ipmon.exe also runs with ipclient.exe. The ipmon32 or ipmon.exe may be a browsing monitor, either way, by ending these tasks you'll find no difference in your internet experience. Are you experienced? Do a search on IPClient.exe and you'll find numerous discussion boards that concure(sp?)

IPclient.exe, and IPMon.exe (SBC)caused the screen on an Inspiron 6000 to "black out" no icons, taskbar, or start menu. All tasks were manually accomplished through task manager. New Task.
