| bought new pc with Win 8 and tried to load old copy of Office 2007. After removing Office 2007, GrooveMonitor was not removed and lingered. Manually searched for, found, and removed all GM files. Problem solved John C | |

| so i downloaded something THEN i have a virus in the temp and the System32 anywhere in the Appdata. so i downloaded Malwarebytes because my Avast is like.. Your are unprotected. *few days, the virus deleted* and in Windows Task Manager there was no GrooveMonitor.exe in here before. i think it's a virus.. i think not.. IDK | |
| If associated with Microsoft Office 2007 - normal, but pointless. If Microsoft Office is not present, be weary. Triss | |
