Inmost cases, fmon.exe file problems are due to the file missing or being corrupted (malware / virus) and often seen at FortiClient real-time file system monitor program startup. Replacing your EXE file is generally a solution to fixing these issues. After the problem file is replaced, running a registry scan can help clean up any invalid fmon.exe, file extension, or other file path references which could have been affected from a previous malware infection.

Placing the newly-downloaded fmon.exe file in the right directory (where the original file resides) will most likely resolve the issue, but you should test to make sure. We recommend re-loading FortiClient real-time file system monitor to test for the issue.
