This component immediately starts running when it detects uninstall operation of a program from Control Panel’s or from a third-party Uninstaller.

    LMFAO Just go to the iobit uninstaller root folder and rename the UninstallMonitor.exe to UninstallMontiorold.exe and it still works fine without that crap running in your processes.

      Checked ‘Don’t show this again’ on the notification showed by IObit uninstaller (check the screenshot in the article), from then I’ve not seen that process running while uninstalling Programs.

        This no longer works because the check boxes on this screen are now radio buttons. You cannot uncheck what you note above.

          You can, uncheck all under Notifications and you’re good to go. Check the screenshot of the latest 8.2 version https://imgur.com/a/atEznaG

            The box that you show in your screen shot was already unchecked in my version, and uninstallermonitor still runs every time I boot my computer. I have to go into Taskman and manually turn it off. Uninstaller 8.5.0.6
