Visual Network Monitor

[aye29]

Does anybody know what Visual Netwok Monitor (IPVNMON.VXD) is? Every time I log on to the internat, my firewall asks me if I want to accept something from Visual Network Monitor. I always say no. I dont know if its a security threat or not. Help anybody.

Its also eating up a LOT of my bandwith. Up to half. I am using Sygate Personal Firewall 5.0.

Do you have yahoo stuff installed on your pc?? I found that it's this file. Yahoo's IPInSightMonitor.

I have SBC Yahoo DSL installed. Is it safe to block it? Is there anyway I can close it or stop it from starting?

I had Yahoo SBC DSL for 2 months. All those programs are total bloatwear.

I suggest uninstalling all of they're browsers and proggy's (there's about 5 of them) and setting up your connection manually. All you need is your login and pass. No need to let some external program do it for you. If you need help doing it, post here. But the network connection wizard is pretty straight forward.
