ShowLOMControl is a task that is put in to your Windows startup registry keys on certain Dell Computers. It is not spyware.

As jmorlan said here:

"LOM = LAN on Motherboard.
It mean Show "LAN on Motherboard" Control.
On systems where you can install an external LAN interface, it will warn you that you already have a built-in LAN interface.
Appears to be a feature on certain Dell systems."
