Our Huawei mobile broadband was provided by Three, and the DataCardMonitor.exe runs when the modem is d.i.'d to the P.C. It's P.I.D. is right up there with the best of them - And I did NOT know it could log keystrokes :~(

Had to go online to see what I could find out about DataCardMonitor. It was seen in Task Manager as "Running" but was not an application I knew I was using! Everything seemed to be going wrong with PC - chugging, taking ages to load everything, drag in completing tasks - but once DCM was uninstalled, the chugging stopped and apps opened instantly. (Even typing this has been speedy. Hooray! :-D)

seems like a spyware, system was clogged! after disabling the process everything just magically goes back to normal speed, no errors etc.
