Overview

processlasso.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges typically within the context of its parent monitor.exe (Chameleon Monitor by Evgeni Shmakov). It is an auto-starting process that used the Windows Task Scheduler service to load when the user logs into Windows (sometimes this is required to bypass the UAC protection). It is installed with a couple of know programs including Process Lasso published by Bitsum Technologies, Process Lasso from Bitsum Technologies and Process Lasso by Bitsum Technologies.
