Machine Debug Manager
Hi:
Spybot found a malware dialer on my PC , and its mode of "fixing" this was to remove the following Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices\Mac hine Debug Manager I allowed it to fix this. It seems spybot removed this key. I no longer see the Machine Debug Manager in the MSConfig Startup items. I don't do any kind of programming. So I don't really know what "Debug Manager" does nor if I have any need for it.. Can someone clarify this issue for me? Is it safe to have this registry item removed ? Thanks in advance: -Eli |

If you don't 'do' programming, you really don't need MDM - which is usually removed from any PC I handle as being too buggy itself! Leave it alone - you can always put it back later if you discover a need. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Eli" wrote in message ...
