Stillmagemonitor

The above has appeared in my startup items. Can anyone tell me what this is? My OS is Windows 98.

 

Program Name: StillImageMonitor
Executable Name: Stimon.exe
Required: User's choice Comments: Stimon.exe enables a USB still-image device (such as a scanner) to initiate data transfer to a program. For example, if your scanning device has a scan button, it may start a program and begin scanning when you press it. Create a shortcut and start it manually when needed if your scanner otherwise fails to scan. May be required for your USB scanner to work - including all HP scanners and some of their SCSI scanners

 

Thanks!
