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 camouflages itself as Monitor.exe, particularly when located in the c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder.
