Wow, yes, that is a good avenue of research. Sorry everyone. I did a google search on activity monitor and got a whole slew of results pointing to a commercial spyware program marketed to employers who see a need to watch their people as they work. Sorry.

It's part of OS X, and it reveals (to the user) various metrics about their CPU, memory and I/O use, as well as listing the currently running processes, and that sort of thing. It's a rather innocuous (and quite useful) utility. AFAIK, it does not pass your credit card details to the CIA, or tell your Mum that you used a rude word in an email, or perform any enslaving or otherwise objectionable functions.
