its the intel proset/wireless service. It has a major memory leak. Just close it wireless will be fine it just wont connect the same you must do it manualy
Hunter

S24EvMon.exe is linked to the wifi profile when it dies it drops all information about the connection
Chris

It is harmless. If you suspect it, please check all the other processes running first and just go by process of elimination.

It is indeed causing memory leakage. To clean the situation, you just have to kill the process (from task manager), then restart the service "Intel PROSet/Wireless Service" from the Services application - this will give you a clean new version of s24evmon.

Just noticed this, but looks harmless. Does not take up any CPU and it has a fairly small memory footprint 700k

Wireless device activation monitor in Intel Based Laptops. Monitors for wireless network connections. If you turn this off.... 1. You will need to manually connect wireless, or specify particular network in the settings. 2. You will not be notified when new or open wireless networks are available. 3. the pop-up warning window that wireless networking is activated will not appear. THIS IS A NEEDED PROCESS. ........
