Google says it's a process based from the ATI Catalyst app. However, it could be spyware if it originates from program files/mom/mom.exe.

EDIT: I just dug a little deeper and you should investigate this to see where it originates from. If it's from ATI, you should be ok. But it's also known to be a virus.

Since he has an Ati card, it's very likely the process is just part of the catalyst center.

That's the process that keeps track of CCC and makes it load faster.

true and true. You must verify if mom.exe is valid to be sure you don't have spyware. See http://www.symantec.com/security_response/print_writeup.jsp?docid=2006-021614-3013-99
