Malware Question - OA001Mon.exe

[Fleexy]

Is this file (in C:\WINDOWS) a virus?  I'm asking because my mom was reading emails and got a prompt that the computer had to be restarted to complete installation of a new program (it didn't say what new program).  It automatically restarted in 45 seconds (there was no close button).  When the computer came back up everything was fine (or looked like it).  I checked the list of running processes and found OA001Mon.exe.  I immediately searched the internet for this file.  I found reports of it shutting down the firewall and other bad things.  I ran a Norton full scan and found nothing.  avast! did a scan and found nothing.  Jotti's malware scan got 0/20 scanners reporting threats on OA001Mon.exe, OA001cfg.exe, and OA001.[I forgot the extension].  Whenever that computer booted up, OA001Mon.exe is running under my mom's username.  No virus scanner finds anything but all these internet reports and the fact that those three files are not on the other two computers at this house is kind of suspicious.  I removed these three files and rebooted and everything was fine, no OA001Mon.exe running and the files didn't come back.  Was this a good idea and are these files a virus?

There are files with those names that are legitimate. Do you have a webcam installed from Creative?

Nope, no webcam is installed at all.

You can scan suspicious files to see if they are infected at Jotti's malware scan.

I already did.  It says in the first post.

If nothing is reporting them as malicious then I would say they are legit.
