The ipmon32.exe process is installed by default with the software provided by Verizon for DSL accounts. It monitors the status of your DSL internet connection. Whether or not you use Verizon for your internet service provider (ISP) you should be able to safely stop this process.

Not a Dangerous file, but it does consume a lot of resources, and will not hurt the user to terminate or disable it.
