Just cleaned my machine down - registry etc
Ran full virus & spyware checkers... nothing
Rebooted
Uninstalled old Catalyst driver - installed latest version (7.4 for XP) and rebooted again
Looking at the new interface, I was toggling the varius IQ settings on and off when it 'bombed'
However, there was disk activity so I checked Task Manager
Found a new process called MOM.exe
Half of the entries for this on Google seem to suggest some kind of spyware - the other half say that it is a 'normal ATI process'
However, searching AMD.com and ATI.com for "MOM.exe" reveals 'zero results'
Spyware Terminator does not seem to see it as a risk - and it does not even get a mention in its 'unknown software' list
Does anyone know what the hell MOM.exe is - where it came from - and why it seems to install with Catalyst 7.4 (but is not mentioned on either AMD or ATI's sites ?)
