MDM.EXE - Machine Debug Manager | Windows Startup Programs

Program Name Filename Tested Status
Machine Debug Manager MDM.EXE No U
Description
Used by developers for debugging and is a component of several MS products including Office and Visual Studio. Those who have encountered it have unchecked it with no degradation in performance. It may cause your computer to "hang" if you have Visual Studio installed and this disabled because it appears to take over error handling - hence the U recommendation. For this entry it loads under the "RunServices" key in Me (located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM). It also loads a service in XP/Vista (located in %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug)
How can I fix it?
Key What does it mean?
Y This program is safe to run, no problems reported.
N Not required or not recommended - typically infrequently used tasks that can be started manually if necessary.
U User's choice - depends whether a user deems it necessary.
X Definitely not required - typically viruses, spyware, adware and "resource hogs".
? Unknown.
