[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 697797, member: 32547"] uninstallmonitor.exe is probably part of Iobit Uninstaller. I suspect you won't be able to stop this process from running as long as Iobit Uninstaller finds a way to run on boot. uninstallmonitor.exe is probably required for the recording of installations to happen. Comodo Programs Manager works the same way. Has its own service. As for ASC, the ASC service is likely restarting in response to something from ASC. This could be happening on boot, but you don't see it in Autoruns. It may also be happening from Task Scheduler. You can check there to see if an ASC task is running redundantly to check to restart the service if it is off. Otherwise, the service may be restarting when you open ASC or from some unidentified as yet Autorun that appears to be harmless or just cannot be placed by its name. Not likely VirusTotal results would show you anything on anything ASC as malicious or at least not many of the security companies would blacklist it. Iobit may be pretty good software, but it is very cleverly insidious. If you have to have the software, you may have to live with these events happening that you don't want to happen... [/QUOTE]
