Purpose: IPMON32.EXE - This is an utility that gathers information about your connection and sends it back to the ISP for connection quality monitoring. It is not necessary for operation but some ISPs may use it to help you diagnose problems. You can disable it with MSConfig and re-enable it if you begin to have trouble with your connection. See this DSL Reports FAQ for more information.
