| It dramatically slows your computer. I've got it on my computer and its not doing anything but it looks quite mysterious for a .exe file to be called MOM. I don't want to delete it and wreck my computer, I've scanned it with Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 and the report is saying its safe. I don't have any problems with it so far but reading the reviews and votes I've wondered whether it would improve the CPU usage of other system processes, therefore increasing the speed of the computer.

| its a spyware andy | |
| MOM.exe is directly related to your graffics | |
| ATI Catalyst Control program. Harmless. WolfRunner | |

| Monitoring program from ATI Technologies Pedja | |
| It can be mimicked and could be a trojan, that's what happened to me. Jarett | |
| the file itself showed up on a firewall alert as trying to start another process. MOM.exe has no signature, and I've never seen any firewall react to it before. I blocked it, if it keeps trying to start another process again (2 attempts so far with 2 pids) I'll terminate it, and quarantine it, and see what happens. ...first I'm going to check when it was installed, with the original drivers? or as an 'update' if it's an update, I'll roll back the drivers and delete it. | |
| ATI - never again, ATI Software makes promlems on all of my pcs, updates causes black screens and such bad programs produces error messages. it just should make a f**** picture! Peter | |
| Its passive and does'nt do anything just leave it PRO | |
| My computer kept crashing, and the speed and accuracy, especially of spaces, was greatly diminshed. I noticed that MOM.exe and CCC.exe were using a lot memory. I deleted them both. Now my computer is running faster and doesn't crash as often. Typing anything while using Internet Explorer is still a bit delayed, but the speed and accuracy has improved. Deleting MOM.exe and CCC.exe improves speed. | |
| its an ati driver, also with ati (or AMD) is CCC.exe | |

| if you have an ATI Radeon graphics card with the ATI Catalyst Control Panel software, MOM.exe is supposed to be there. It's part of the ATI Catalyst Control Center, an application for controlling many of the video card's advanced functions, such as 3D image processing. JOHN | |
| Never even saw it pop up into a window until, guess when, Mother's day. It caused a black screen which I needed to perform complete shut down to resolve. | |
| its a have to have if you want to make use of the ccc. Otherwise you wont be overclocking nothing. jimmy | |
| It's not good. It gave me a firewall alert the first time I used it, so I let it go and said "Scan anyway", and now, let's just say, I have a new computer. Tony | |

| It is a tedious job to frequently delete the MOM.exe Application error meassages, otherwise it its OK. Moreover it slows down the computer, especially MS Office files that takes around 2 minutes or more time to open the same. Prafullachandra Jani | |
| Belongs to the ATI video card drivers. | |
| It is Catalyst Control Center Monitoring Program. Its 100% harmless and i think it comes with most Packard Bell computers. But also other types FluffyCakeMaster69 | |

| It was taking up 20% of my CPU time. I killed it and have noticed faster response overall in everything else I do on my computer. Also, when I kill it, my CPU fan goes back to its normal 'idle' speed instead of full-on. Jim | |
| It is just a AMD CCC program. If you have CCC installed, It shouldent be a virus. explodoboy | |
| ATI catalyst christos greece | |
| It doesn't do anything bad, and it shouldn't do anything to your computer. It comes with the computer as a file for Catalyst Control. I have never seen this take up much ram at all (Very little in fact) and it will not slow down games that you play. Chris. Much experience with software. | |
| It's part of the Graphic Processing Unit driver for ATI and AMD chipsets. It has minimal impact on system performance. TheITGuy | |
| It is not harmless i saw MOM.exe in my new laptop so i guess it's not harmless not even a tiny bit Nicolas | |
| It speeds up your computer Nitr0 Sage | |
| It is fine and partially critical for the function of your AMD Graphics card JEFF | |
| Essential don't delete it, don't touch it and don't cancel the process I beg that you don't it's essential Jank | |
| The MOM.exe is safe. Deleting it is not good because its a SYSTEM process, or LSAP (Local Security Authority Process). The people who said its not good, May have a virus called MOM.exe. Miko | |
| Its Just a controller Mitch | |
| Possibility a file that will be used for mind control or to turn her robots on humans. See also: Link Igner | |
