| Its a Nod32 Antivirus IE monitoring file. Responsible for saving your computer from online access by mallacious softwares. It works perfrectly on: Pentium 4 or Above with minimum of 1gb Ram . in rare cases it works with 512mb as well. if you have a better processor than that then you wouldn`t even feel the disk usage and PC will be very smooth ! | |||

| I was also suprised with this file. It took me 40% of my CPU (core 2 duo 2.0 ghz 2MB L2 cache) and I have 4 GB of RAM. But I saw the advice of CyberJim (thanks for this) on this page and now it consumes 0%. | |||
