Machine Debug Manager is used for debugging applications by technically advanced users and developers and is installed by the Microsoft Script Editor that is included in Microsoft Office.  link for more info Magus
Used by developers for debugging. Those who have encountered it have unchecked it with no degradation in performance. May cause your computer to "hang" if you have MS Visual Studio installed and this disabled because it appears to take over error handling  link for more info SETI@home
Not a virus, just a Microsoft debugging tool. Disable it for a more secure computer. Tim
nervig, stört online und spioniert easy
Does NOT send any data via Internet if found in the "Microsoft Shared\VS7DEBUG" folder. Found anywhere else, a Trojan infection possible. Dunkan
nothing really.. but if i dont shut it down it will slow my computer to hell freezland
It opens an advertising popup in Internet Explorer on Windows startup. And sometimes it uses a lot of CPU too. Knalphert Clausenschnausse
Disable script debugging and you turn it off. *shrug* Kachiko
This slows down my PC: when I delete it, my PC immediately speeds up. Look in task list in link.  link for more info Mark
Der "Machine Debug Manager" läuft als Service und wird zusammen mit dem Microsoft Script Editor installiert. Wenn der Computer nicht für Debugging benutzt wird, kann dieser Service ohne weiteres deaktiviert werden. Bomania
When I look into task manager's page faults field, I see that it keeps on increasing for MDM.exe. Anyways who needs script debugging, I simply checked the option "Disable script debugging" from internet explorer's advanced Internet options. Sandy

machine debug manager, starting running whenever I run IE after installing Office XP, even though I HAVE the script debugging turned off in the IE options. Using task manager I can shut it down BUT it always tells me that it is not responding. I do not know of any way to stop it other than to remove the actual file itself. I'm running Win98 SE. The file is located in "...\common files\Microsoft shared\VS7Debug". Joey
im rinnin winxp home and havent downloaded anything lately and found mdm.exe runnin from this location C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug. weird! ron
essential process me
Just an annoying valuable system resources gobbler. Disable/Quarantine it from Anti-Spy.Info's interface, or just delete the program altogether.  link for more info Risker
This file is not harmful in any way. It comes from any products having to do with Visual Studio [any version] from Microsoft. Terranwolf
As per metntioned it's from Microsoft. I also got this only yesterday and it keeps prompting. I tried to set the MDM in the Services to Disable and reboot my notebook and it still load by itself.. Not even found in the Task List. I follow Mark's link to "Answers That Work" site. Also recommends to set the service to Manual. It did also mentioned that the stupid MDM.EXE might have other ways of starting hence recommended to rename it to "MDM.EXE.OLD" and it works for me.  link for more info CCT
Kommt drauf an, wo sie sich befindet. Wenns im System32 liegt = harmlos. Ansonsten sofort loeschen Leo
Die "mdm.exe" ist ein Prozess von Microsoft. Sie ist der so genannte Machine Debug Manager. Die mdm.exe wird mit dem Microsoft Skript-Editor installiert, und bietet Unterstützung beim Debuggen von Skripten. DataFighter
When your pc crash and you restart your pc its damn slow but if you close windows down and restart your pc the problem is fixs Xextreem
seems harmless, but takes memory and startup time, so to disable: startmenu- run and type "services.msc", go to Machine Debug Manager and right-click and select properties, and where it says automatic, select disabled  link for more info kiwibird
