The file epmonitor.exe belongs to software Vodaphone Phone Book Manager.

This software allows the user to install a list of contacts on the PC as a backup in case the phone is lost or misplaced. This feature allows the user to edit the contacts on the PC and then transfer these to the phone, which is an easier process since the PC offers a large keyboard and screen that makes it easier use than the much smaller mobile phone keys and screen. The Phone Book Manager is automatically installed into the PC when the mobile phone is connected to the PC using the cable that is provided with the device. When software installation is completed, the "Contacts" button on the phone is illuminated red, which means a proper connection has been established between the mobile phone and the PC. The connection automatically transfers the list of contacts that exists in the phone to the PC, and the list can be updated from the PC to the phone or vice versa.
