The file ers_startupmon.exe is a process from software OIN. Open Inventory network (OIN) is an intellectual property company that was formed to promote Linux systems by using patents to create a collaborative ecosystem. It openly shares some important patents in a collaborative environment, so that patents owned by OIN are available royalty-free to any individual, company or institution that agrees not to assert its patent against Linux and Linux-related systems and applications. The company has three levels of participation that includes founding members, associate members, and licensees. OIN participants contribute to an expanding community of companies that share the common goal of ensuring freedom of action in and across the GNU/Linux ecosystem. This collaborative agreement and unified commitment to Linux limit the negative effects of patent-based challenges mounted by companies antagonistic to Linux and open source innovation. OIN also offers and sponsors free services that eliminate low quality patents.
