| This file is installed automatically if you have any Genius webcam. I used CCleaner and went to Tools/Start up and checked by right clickinng on it and then selected "Open containing folder" and it takes you to the folder where there's a couple of frames or video filters that your webcam uses. rBok6 | |
| I found it in the leapfrog folder on my computer | |
| it's part of IObit adavanced system care ultimate. I have it installed in my computer anthony | |
| On my Mobo Monitor.exe is part of Advanced SystemCare from IObit. Totally harmless app. See also: Link rev | |
| When I searched my computer for monitor.exe file, it turned up in my folder for Advanced SystemCare. I just monitors your cpu usage ect. and can be killed in the settings area of Advanced SystemCare so it won't start up anymore. See also: Link zombie | |
| This file is a part of Advance SystemCare 6. It runs as a windows process with logged in user account's privileges. you can found it in C:\Program Files\iobit\advanced systemcare 6\monitor.exe. See also See also: Link RAZA | |

| It's the CPU/RAM % block somewhere on your screen if you're using Advanced systemcare. Timo | |

| It can also be a part of "Natec Genesis Gamin Gear" keyboard software. Monitor.exe and osd.exe. See also: Link Kitsune | |
| Found it installed after I installed a web-cam driver. File signed by pixart.TW, (camera manufacturers) but actually downloaded from a link supplied by microsoft trouble shooter. Bill | |
| it was installed by my Genius camera SW jospen | |
| the leapfrog software also installs Monitor.exe which can stop XP from logging out or shutting down / rebooting, running msconfig.exe and removing this from the startup should fix things. Also using the task manager to kill the task allows XP to perform as normal. Brendan | |
| Found this file in C:\ along with wget.exe, monitorsvc.exe, and DirectControl.exe---very suspicious to me because, in my opinion, there should not be any executables in the root of C: with the exception of autoexec.bat or similar (files that are par of windows boot). There were also no file details in properties re: version, name, copyright, filename, etc. Chris | |
| This appeared when I installed a USB VGA camera DC-6120. Seems harmless enough but, is in processes with no applications running. PixArt was also installed and that is bad! Riss | |
| It's integrated with a webcam, mostly. I believe there's more than one file under this name. The one I have is for a Lenovo laptop. Webcam. | |
| Comes with your webcam, however it can slow down your PC a lot... Cvolton | |
| I got a mouse from Etekcity called the Scroll X1. Within it is a small disc, kinda' like a Nintendo Gamecube disc if you're old enough to know what that is anymore. Anyway, it held the Driver Software in this tiny disc; I installed it and the program for it is "monitor.exe" if you are running a 64-bit operating system it will show "monitor.exe*32" so if you have an Etekcity Scroll X1 mouse this is part of its Driver software, it is not required; and can be deleted if you want to. See also: Link Wolfie | |
| it is part of the application for running a gaming keyboard which is owned by tecknet See also: Link tori | |
| For me, I realized this was "Android Device Monitor" from Android Studio. | |
| could be from advanced system care alfred | |
| Anker Mouse software Efraim | |
| Came packaged with malware / password stealer YourMom | |
| http://prntscr.com/n6pgea Registry Monitor on my PC, came with drivers for old camera, that is not working, Islim 310, opening file location opens to drivers for camera, so i disabled it. See also: Link BW Armor Master | |
| It is a RAM memory monitoring application and some Windows system performance data that comes with Iobit Advanced System Care. Mario | |
| There are too many software companies using monitor.exe to form an informed choice. Mine is part of the software for my new mouse. My mouse is a Zelotes C-12. File location C:\program files (86)\Zelotes C-12\monitor.exe File size 752kb date modified 1/23/2019 I got asked to allow it to change files when booting up my computer. I have not found anything listed matching my situation. It is the program for programming my mouse as it has12 buttons. John | |
