There are many other programs using a file called alarm.exe. Most are alarm clocks or reminder progarms. Some are addins for other programs such as an alarm clock that works with data in Microsoft Outlook. You'll also find an alarm program that works with Corel's WordPerfect Office Suite.

In general, if you have alarms or reminders setup, the alarm.exe file will need to be running. It compares the date and time from your system clock to the date and time of your reminder. When there's a match, the alarm sounds. Removing the file will disable the alarm functions. If you don't use alarms or reminders, then you can remove this file using WinPatrol.
