vsmon.exe

I run win2000pro, with all service packs applied.

I recently noticed that "vsmon.exe" has become the second most active process on my system - after seti@home. I've been trying to find out what "vsmon.exe" does and have been unsuccessful. Can anyone explain what that process is?

As a secondary question, how does one find out what these processes do and what they are responsible for?

Your problem has been around a while. I believe that the following links can solve it:
