the sndmon is a component of Norton Firewall and it crashes when you have an older version of LiveUpdate.
The fix is to go to the Symantec's Web site, go into the support section, then use their automated support. Click on the Personal Firewall and it will tell you to download a newer version of LiveUpdate. That solves the sndmon problem.
For some reason, the LiveUpdate program doesn't install the newer version of itself automatically. It must be done manually.
