External information from Paul Collins:

"ViewMgr" is not required to run at start up. Viewpoint Manager - automatic updates for ViewPoint products such as ViewPoint Media Player (as bundled with AOL, AOL Instant Messenger, Compuserve, etc). Can be run manually via Start → Settings → Control Panel by enabling auto-updates temporarily, re-booting and then disabling again

Important: Some malware camouflages itself as ViewMgr.exe, particularly when located in the c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder.

Everytime i try to download something an error box comes out saying viewmgr encountered an error and then everything freezes.I dont understand how to fix this.

Part of Viewpoint Media Player, many PCs have it, consider it potentially Spyware, but not dangerous. Installs with AOL Instant Messenger, Netscape, certain Adobe applications - Adobe Atmosphere player. Not annoying, but still unwanted. end task, so it is not running, then it can be uninstalled. Will re-install when it is needed by certain programs though. If present, it may pop up to update daily.

It took everything off of my desktop - so even using the Start button to remove it is impossible...

This annoying spyware 'plug-in' can be uninstalled or permanently deactivated by disabling it via the Services Manager. Look for Administrative Tools in the Windows Control Panel.

Part of Viewpoint Media Player. It actively listens on port 3149... Probably harmless, but I am not sure why it would need to listen to a port, so I am removing it.
Moe Green
