Overview

sysmon.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges usually within the context of Windows Explorer. It adds run once key to the current user's profile so that the file will execute the next time the user logs into Windows (it will delete the entry after it runs once). The assembly utilizes the .NET run-time framework (which is required to be installed on the PC). This particular version is usually found on Windows 7 Home Premium (6.1.7601.65536).
