See if there is a shortcut to System Monitor (Sysmon.exe) in one of the StartUp
folders:
-C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
-C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Delete the shortcut there, if found.

If no shortcut is found, it may be loading from the registry or the Win.ini or
System.ini file.
Click Start Run, type msconfig and click OK. Click the Startup tab, and look
for an entry naming the sysmon.exe file. If found, uncheck the box next to it,
click OK, and reboot.

Post back with your findings.

Recently the system monitor window started appearing when I start my
computer. It appears right before my windows login window comes up requesting
password. Whats up with this and how can I make it stop?
