Windows 7 – Disable MDM.exe (Machine Debug Manager)

processwindows 7

Everytime I start-up my PC(Windows 7 x64) the MDM.exe is listed under "Processes" tab of Task manager… Located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MDM.EXE

Unless there is a bug, no need for debugging..

Q1.What's the need for this official Microsoft's machine debug manager?
Q2.If MDM is invoked then how to find what invoked it? and why?
Q3.How can I completely disable it so that it can't be launched up? and thus no need to go to task manager to end this process manually.
