Hi

Since installing Vista SP1, windows defender alerts me that it ha
blocked a startup program. The program it is blocking is by eMPI
technology, Inc, BDA Monitor application, file name hcwemmon.exe

Can anyone tell me if this os okay to permit to run or not? Or even i
i need to run it? I'm using vista ulitmate 64

Any advice welcome, thanks in advance

Hi Gary

Thanks for suggesting the link. I've had a look and really I'd like t
know more about the program that is being blocked. It isn't one that
have blocked myself before using msconfig

When I tried to follow the steps given in the link, at step 1 i
suggested clicking on the blocked program icon and then run blocke
program, when I do this I do not get the same option that is shown. I a
asked if I want to run BDA monitor application

I'm not sure I do you see :eek

What do you think? Not running this doesn't seem to affect anything
so far at least anyway

Cheers, J

I don't know what the program is for. I don't have it on my computer
Could be part of a program you've installed or maybe from something tha
came on the computer. I'm no expert, but if everything seems to b
working ok, I'd just leave it blocked. You can always unblock it if yo
find something not working.

Did a google search for hcwemonnon.exe and found this
'HCWemmon.exe Windows process - What is it?

Hope this helps
