LatencyMon - Find the root cause of audio dropouts, clicks and pops
Quote from resplendence.com: "LatencyMon checks if a system running Windows is suitable for processing real time audio by measuring DPC and ISR excecution times as well as hard pagefaults. It will provide a comprehensible report and find the kernel modules and processes responsible for causing audio latencies which result in drop outs. It also provides the functionality of an ISR monitor, DPC monitor and a hard pagefault monitor.
LatencyMon will display the execution time of each ISR, DPC routine and hard pagefault and will resolve them to the drivers and processes responsible for executing them. It will create a comprehensible report but it will also represent all sampled data in a detailed manner allowing you to perform in-depth analysis."

Hey Guys, this sounds great and I was ready to jump right on it but when I went to that site Norton's Safe Web service complained there was spyware embedded in downloads on that site. The specific message was: ======================================================= Total threats found: 2 Viruses (what's this?) Threats found: 1 Here is a complete list: (for more information about a specific threat, click on the Threat Name below) Threat Name: Spyware.Keylogger Location: http://www.resplendence.c...nload/MultiMonLite.exe Spyware (what's this?) Threats found: 1 Here is a complete list: (for more information about a specific threat, click on the Threat Name below) Direct link to: http://www.resplendence.c...nload/MultiMonLite.exe Location: http://www.resplendence.com/downloads =============================================================== I really want to run this software but I suddenly feel very icky about it.

I checked my system with SpyBot and Windows Defender after running this program. Nothing found. So there is no spyware in latencymon or I used poor scanners...

The message was about a different application MultiMonLite.exe but it put resplendence.com in question for me.

I was interested in checking it out, but WinXP is not supported. This tool, like xperf, takes advantage of new metering features introduced with Vista. So it's a no go for XP. Under Vista and Win7, the information that can be logged now is really detailed, but analyzing it is a chore and sometimes you just flat cannot find the name of the offending DPC. LatencyMon, could be very handy if it saves having to pick through the xperf report. It would be especially useful if it can resolve the "unknown" drivers. These are the ones that drive Win7 users nuts. For XP, you can use the older kernrate utility. You don't have as much data to work with, but it will usually guide you to the culprit when you're diagnosing DPC latency under XP, especially if it's one of the usual suspects, e.g. a network driver. There is also a companion tool called krview, which formats the kernrate output and supposedly makes it easier to comprehend, but I have no personal experience with it. Maybe I'm a masochist, but if there's a long way to do something, that will usually be my method of operation. :)
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Hi, I'm the author of LatencyMon. I just would like to say there is no need to worry about the false positive from Norton, all it says is that our MultiMon product contains a keylogger. That makes sense as it's part of its advertised features. We will notify Norton about it and hopes this gets resolved but there is no way for an ISV developing system software to keep up with the many false positives of the many antivirus and antispyware products out there edit: Symantec just repsponded: "In light of further investigation and analysis Symantec is happy to remove this detection from within its products. The updated detection will be distributed in the next set of virus definitions, available daily, or weekly via LiveUpdate". That is better faster than anything we have experienced before. //Daniel
