There are different files with the same name:

  • "System Monitor" can run at start up. Comes with some Aopen motherboards. Monitors CPU temp, voltage and fan speed. Warns if any become abnormal

There is a SYSMON.EXE which installs itself in the Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sysmon folder of its own. It also may insinuate itself into the .INI file of your default JPG viewer. It then stores hundreds of screen shots of your card data entry pages. Yes, it is very dangerous and is a stealth keylogger.
