Performance Monitor: What is this strange programme running on my pc?

You have installed the pretty good utility Advanced Systemcare. It cleans your registry, tidies up temp and dll files. But then you come across this strange new programme running on your computer. It has a weird green icon with the letter A, and a name you've never heard of before: FormMain_PMonitor. What is it? A virus?

Nope. It's part of the latter programme, Advanced Systemcare. It's a separate utility that monitors your computer performance. If it is upsetting you, head for the AS settings, and right at the bottom you will see Performance Monitor. Click down there and then deselect the enable button. You'll find the settings for AS up on the right where it says 'more', click on there and the top item is 'settings'.

Bye bye strange new programme until you feel your system is slowing down, then head back to the settings and enable the programme to see how your pc is performing.
