Window Quick Manager has nothing to do with managing your Windows installation. In fact, this program doesn't offer any valuable features that may make you want to keep it, and maybe this is one of the reasons why its authors don't even have an official website for Window Quick Manager. This program's primary method of distribution is software bundling, and it may often be found in low-quality software bundles whose purpose is to promote dubious programs like Window Quick Manager.
When Window Quick Manager is installed on a computer, it doesn't create any obvious shortcuts that can be used to access this program. Instead, it places its executable files deep inside the system folders, and modifies the Windows Registry, so that its files will be launched as soon as Windows boots up. Some of the process and file names that Window Quick Manager uses are:
- WinMake.exe
- WinQuick.exe
- WinMake_.exe
- WinQuick_.exe
While active, this tool may establish background connections to various advertising networks, and may launch stealth copies of Internet Explorer that may be used to execute click-fraud schemes or generate traffic for low-quality websites artificially. There is no doubt that Window Quick Manager is a useless piece of software that must be erased from your machine as soon as possible. The good news is that there are no reports of threatening behavior being exhibited by Window Quick Manager, and you can rest assured that it can't cause any harm to your computer or your files. The best way to free yourself of this PUP is to use a reputable and up-to-date anti-malware scanner that can guarantee the full removal of all files and Registry entries associated with Window Quick Manager's activities.
