Have noticed a new process running at startup and as usual when I see such things I went to ProcessLibrary.com to find out about it. This was the explanation: "groovemonitor.exe is a GrooveMonitor Utility from Microsoft Corporation belonging to GrooveMonitor Utility" Does anyone know what this process actually does? The explanation provided by ProcessLibrary is devoid of meaning. It may be a bit paranoid on my part but this explanation looks like just so much spin from Msoft. I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

It appears there is a utility in Office 2007 called groove. You evidently have Office 2007 installed. Below is a link to the MS groove site. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/g...

Thanks for that. Yes I do have office 2007 and have googled to get a better explanation than was provided at processlibrary.com. Might have to switch my loyalties to CastleCops from Processlibrary as they seem to provide much better info: http://www.castlecops.com/s14247-Gr... I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.
