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.

It's a keylogger. It creates multipe proccesses and also affects your computer's performance. It's a hidden file and you cannot even see it even when you change the invisible files/folders setting. VERY dangerous.

Best practices for resolving Sysmon issues

A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with Sysmon. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.

Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.

To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.

To help you analyze the Sysmon.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. A good Bantivirus software detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.
