There are different files with the same name:

• "load" definitely not required. Added by the BINGHE TROJAN!
• "Machine Debug Manager" can run at start up. 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 - hence the U recommendatioon. Can also be listed as MDM7. See here to disable
• "mdm" definitely not required. Added by the LYDRA-F TROJAN! Note - this is not the valid Machine Debug Manager which shares the same filename
• "MDM7" can run at start up. 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 - hence the U recommendatioon.

This is more of an NT product than an XP program

Installs with Office 2003. Seems to be mostly harmless, but a totally unneeded memory hog for most users

Just disable it, not because its dangerous but because is useless. Save your system resources... ;)
