i cudnt place A0380mon.exe process. A0380mon.exe, are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the A0380mon.exe process on your pc whether it is pest. i recommend Security Task Manager for verifying A0380mon.exe,

I looked around and found some references to it in the anti-spyware sites, but all said essentially what you posted. It may be spyware.

Have you had any unusual things happening when you log on to Messenger?

Just another thought - you might want to upload it to VirusTotal - Free Online Virus and Malware Scan and get it checked. If you go to the site, there are directions on how to do the upload, and the scanning is pretty fast.

I don't have the file in my versions of Windows 7 (MSDN and RC)

It is a Good Thing that VirusTotal gave a clean bill of health.

An educated guess would be that it is monitoring something - what firewall and antivirus are you running?

Here's something that I should have asked before - If you go to windows\system32 and right click on the file, is there anything under company or name in the properties?

If you have the install disk for the webcam, the file might be on it. If the file is from the vendor, it probably is a routine to monitor if you want to use the camera.

yes u r rite .. its present.. but why this is suspicious i dont know

Sounds like we have this one solved... I hope...

Glad it wasn't spyware. You might want to drop the webcam folks a line and tell them that their file is causing some concern.

I think it is raising concern because the company isn't identified.
