 Jimbob | It is installed by some games as a copy protector, could also have some spyware. It is very difficult to get rid of and requires registry changes; see link for more details. See also: Link |

| LaJmOn | s24evmon.exe is an application that gives access to your wireless network interface devices configurations and diagnostics. This program is a non-essential system process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems. |
| leighbobs | is a wireless config file (safe) |
| | Event Monitor - supports driver extensions to NIC Driver for wireless adapters |
| razz | This file commonly is shipped with laptops or desktops that have two intel network cards. For example the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 LAN MiniPCI Adapter uses an Intel-developed MAC, TI/Symbol/Intel baseband chip. Likewise, s24evmon.exe allows symbol based wireless cards to bridge with 10/100baseT Ethernet cards so that you can use both at the same time. s24evmon.exe is software that will act as a bridge and will help you use both wireless and ethernet at the same time. s24evmon.exe helps when you are on ethernet and suddenly happen to also go wireless at the same time. If you dont need it remove |
 | this is a very dangerous process that i found when i navigate in internet |
| viper | this process did indeed come with my laptop and I will keep it going since I would like to keep switching from ethernet to wireless depending on where I am. The user who found it dangerous is definitely wrong. |
| Sylvain | It's totally harmless but for the fact that it sometimes crashes. Developed by Intel for use with their wireless technology. See also: Link |
 MTH | It was installed by my Toshiba aoutomated net configurator upon using two card, one ethernet and anther wireless. As nay other procces, shut down or remove is you do not need it. |
| mikem | It's an event monitor for wireless cards See also: Link |
| Garlic | Commonly found in Thinkpad Laptops that feature Centrino chipsets. Verified using stock factory recovery utility for T40 and T41p. Safe to turn off if you use Windows to configure your wireless cards. If you use IBM's wireless utility, leave it on or it breaks. |
| steve I | wireless adapter service |
 naim | everytime my windows starts, the program crashes and windows wants to send a report to microsoft. i dont know what cause the problem |
| JD | Had a case where it used up 95% of CPU resources, so I killed the process, no harm that I can see from killing it, and it hasn't been back. Maybe it only gets accessed when the wireless link goes bad? |
| Andrew | WLAN |
| Borge | This is a part of the Intel PROSET/Wireless software package for Intel Wireless Network cards. It is REQUIRED for the wireless network to work (if you use the PROSET/Wireless software), if you disable it the wireless network will shutdown immediately. |
| Gus | I own a dell laptop with an Intel 3945 wireless network adapter. If I disable this, my wireless network disconnects and cannot be reconnected. For me, it's a critical file. It is almost constantly active while I am on my wireless network. See also: Link |
| | Started having problems lately, likely to be this process. |
| Mita | I installed Intel® PROWireless 2100 LAN MiniPCI Adapters Software just to check how it was compaired with the native XP software. S24EvMon.exe is a part of this installation. |
| CG | The current version seems to have a memory leak as I have had to kill it several times after finding it has eaten up over 500MB of my memory. |
| zZz | Uses no cpu, but occupies copious amounts of ram - up to 200mb, that is almost 50% of my total ram... can't be good |
| Dargno | Took up about 95 meg of memory so killed the process |
| Eolo | s24evmon.exe is an application that gives access to your wireless network interface devices configurations and diagnostics. This program is a non-essential system process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems. |
| ferArias | Occupies a lot of memory. Right now it is using 75Mb in my Toshiba laptop |
| Kim | The version on my LT has a memory leak, Memory use goes upto 800MB over 3days if left running :( , Killed it and all is good, but can't switch network till reboot. |
| Abubaker | I have a DELL Inspiron6000 Laptop, many time I find this task occuping 99% of processor resources. The name in Services list is "Spectrum24 Even Monitor" and in case you need to stop it requires "WLNKEEPER" service to be stopped also. Since I don't use wireless service, I just switched that to Manual Start in the service list. |

| Jörch | got in on my notebook for using WLAN Security WPA2 AES. Unfortunately is constantly eats up memory when WLAN is not active. This forces me to reboot after a while - uncool. |
| Joe | This program installed when I bought an Intel Mini-PCI 2200bg wireless card. I got the driver from the link below (where to get the latest Intel Drivers). Seems harmless, but I have not tried to kill the process, as it appears necessary for WiFi. See also: Link |
| Pete | comes Intel Wireless Drivers |
| zakir | If u have intel wireless adapter with whom u connect to router net, it is intel's process, its ok, but it eats cpu, u can kill it still u can browse net |
| | it runs on my computer after I installed everything that comes with Intel PROset/Wireless. I don't really know what it does but its using about 100 mb of my memory :S |
| Needa3 | used as a part of the program EveMon. This program was developed to keep track of a training program for your characters in the Eve-online game |
| | Used by Intel Pro Set software. If you kill it you may get problem connecting to a wireless lan ("No card found message"). So if you use wireless lan throught your Intel card, don't kill it. On my computer, it sometimes take a lot of ram so I have to restart the Intel pro set service to get some more ram from it... |
| Jonathan | Im with JD This file has a great memory leak in it. If I leave my computer on for a couple days it starts useing over 100 megs of ram. |
| sushyu | Thanks for the informative and considered post Razz. Definately need it. Running Acer laptop Sometimes sharing dial up connection wireless + lan = need. That Scenario did not work with the service disabled. Using 250K mem. & 00 CPU. |
| thgx | Often takes about 100MB of memory, not a problem to kill |
| sch | Part of the Intel WLAN driver suite. Version 10.5.0.34 has a memory leak and can eat up 100MB in couple of hours. |
| John | Not using significant CPU resources, but it's currently using 510MB of RAM.. That can't be good. |
| | comes with Inel PROWireless |
| | Service/Application for Intel (Centrino) Wireless Chipsets |
| Ale | Exactly as JD, 95% of CPU, started when I gave wrong information to log in to my wireless network. I use Intel Proset Wireless Card Software |
| | Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection |
| D | process supplied by intel to support intel wireless network adapters. It is rather harmless, but it does use a bit of ram. There is a process called S24EvMom.exe (notice the "m" instead of "n") that is malicious that is out there to look like this one. |
| Chris | wireless link - for sony notebook |
| Daniel | Crapware - this comes pre-installed on my dell laptop. At the moment, it's sucking down 653MB of actual memory! (not virtual). This stuff is crap, and I usually turn off all of those services (Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless*) unless I'm switching wireless networks. |
| Marco | Is an INTEL file. |
| Angko | Mostly comes in laptops with intel network card. This is wireless(wi-fi)/bluetooth connection program for network, don't mix-up with bluetooth file-sharing. You can safely disable it if you dont have wireless Network connection. |
| Bob | This might be a benign process, but it's definitely a RAM hog! Was occupying over 24M last I checked. |
| | C:\Program Files\Intel\Wireless\Bin\S24EvMon.exe = Wireless Management Service for Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless |
| Aryan | After frequent hibernations and startups without a restart, the S24EvMon.exe process could consume a lot of memory. Sometimes the process peaks almost 600Mb even with the Wifi hardware switch OFF. Probably necessary, but a little annoying process |
| Finwe | I have an Intel PROWireless installed on my pc |
| | kommt vom WLAN, scheint keine funktionsrelvanten Funktionen zu beinhalten |
| Jason | This proc helps maintain the Wifi connection on your computer. When you disable it you loose the ablility to see Wifi networks. If you are using Wifi don't turn it off. If you do turn it off you will need to restart your computer to turn it back on. |
| eric | I did not have it before I started having problems... |
| Barnendu Goswami | I have Intel PROSet/Wireless 3945ABG, and use the supplied software for my wireless (not the XP built-in). |
| Bob Binns | It launches cmd.exe and ipconfig.exe every 2 seconds and eats up all the CPU indirectly. |
| Zolmeier | Have to kill process to get K!TV running. |
| Lori | Network Process (laptops) |
| Earl | process was 40 meg in size -- biggest process when I checked because my machine was swapping |
