Never had any major problems, but this morning when I booted up, on my desktop a big box popped up labeled &#8220;Machine Debug Manager&#8221;. Near the bottom of the box, under several lines of information, is a small &#8220;OK&#8221; box. Not knowing what any of this is, I didn&#8217;t click &#8220;OK&#8221;. Just clicked the small &#8220;x&#8221; at the upper right corner to close the box. Everything seems to be running ok.<\/p>\n<p>I read elsewhere this has something to do with script debugging, but that it&#8217;s ok to disable it bu going to Internet Options, clicking the advanced tab and selecting disable script debugging. I haven&#8217;t tried it because another site said in some cases it could be a virus and had a link to click to check the PC. I wasn&#8217;t about to do that and risk downloading a virus.<\/p>\n<p>Is it safe to disable Machine Debug Manager? Why did this suddenly pop up on my PC. It has never shown up before today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":59},"question-category":[76],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-15518","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-xp"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/15518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=15518"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=15518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
