All comments about aoltsmon.exe: DC the MCSE Something that came with a recent AOL 9.0 build of AOL. It's harmless but im not sure exactly what it does. Cody It is running in my processes and taking up 50% of my cpu's ability. It didn't used to do this and I wonder if I need it running. It doesn't show up in the registry editor.... dunno SDBear aoltsmon.exe is a process associated with AOL TopSpeed from America Online.

Parker is this file safe to allow access Mike It takes up 50% of my CPU time and also uses up to 90% of my page file AND RAM deefex it's associated with aol's top speed HIgh CPU usage, even when AOL isn't running. As an AOL user you should in general leave this task alone. If you are an advanced user and do not use AOL’s own browser but use, instead, a browser like Mozilla or FireFox which both have inbuilt web acceleration caching of the type used by AOL TopSpeed technology, then you can disable this service. contra Took up all available CPU resources to run. Just awful. J Sherman Worthless waste of system resources following an uninstall of the AOL software. Other example of AOL programmers' incompetance/arrogance. Donnie Took up 100% of cpu - want to get rid of it. jerry Turn off: Start / run / msconfig / services Un-check the box If you know more about aoltsmon.exe, share your knowledge and help other users.
