Purpose: LMonitor.exe - Distributed with MSI motherboards, checks their web site regularly for driver and BIOS updates. Since most people should only update BIOS and drivers if they are having a particular problem, there is no need to run a background program to check for those updates. Disable this program through MSConfig.

lmonitor.exe uses excessive system and memory resources with no corresponding benefit. Applications such as these should be disabled to improve overall system performance.
