What the heck is TMOAgent?

[LBeizer]

Hi,

For the past couple of weeks I have regularly been
discovering after I have left my computer on but
unattended for a number of hours the message that Windows
has unfortunately had to close TMOAgent. I send the
report to Microsoft, but have been unable to find out
either what it is or how to fix the problem. My computer
seems to continue to work fine, but neither the help menu
nor my edition of "Mastering Windows XP" mentions
TMOAgent, and at the Microsoft website I am told that
there is one article on the subject within the
troubleshooting FAQs, but then I'm left with a whole lot
of FAQ groups without any hint as to which group that one
article may be in.

Can anyone help by telling me what it does and what I
should do? Thanks a lot.

Lance

Are you using TrendMicro Anti Virus ?

Example;
C:\PROGRAM FILES\TREND MICRO\INTERNET SECURITY\TMOAGENT.EXE

Yup,

Thanks. I should have thought of that. I'll call Trend to
see if they can figure out what the problem is. Thanks
again,
