After installing the 7.5 drivers then the hotfix, i was confronted by this message..

MOM.EXE has failed to initialise

After searching for info on what MOM.EXE was i found there was a difference in opinion between those who thought it to be spyware and those that thought it was a harmless and normal part of the setup from ATI.
Also i noticed that this update had installed the catalyst control centre on my machine even though i had opted for the driver only, as i use ATI Tray Tools, can anyone clarify whether or not this exe is malicious or not and also why the update insists on using the CCC, any info would be greatly appreciated.

Mom.exe isn't spyware.. so if you have downloaded it from amd.com. I had this to, but you need the have NET 2.0 installed to run it i guess.
