Recommendation:

The ALCMTR.EXE process is not an essential file to the computer system. It is a user invoked program and a normal part of PC operations. You can disable it or even remove it from the system startup list in order to save more resources and speed up the system boot. If you need to use Event Monitor from Realtek AC97 audio, you can launch it manually from the "Start" menu or other shortcuts.

no user		Realtek AC97 Audio - Event Monitor. "Sypware" file used surreptitiously monitor one's actions. It is not a sinister one, like remote control programs, but it is being used by Realtek to gather data about customers 5 6 Report Abuse

Roy Henock		It came up clean on Oct 23 2013 BUT I\'m not convinced this automatically means it\'s really not spyware...does Realtek really need to know what\'s going on in my PC 24/7/365 in order to make sure my Realtek drivers are up-to-date? 0 0 Report Abuse
