Remove Express Gate Tools by DeviceVM

Express Gate Tools is a software program developed by DeviceVM. The most common release is 1.0.0.9, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named ExpressGateUpdater.exe. The setup package generally installs about 8 files and is usually about 2.48 MB (2,600,617 bytes). The installed file ExpressGateUpdater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows Vista (SP2). While about 25% of users of Express Gate Tools come from France, it is also popular in Germany and the United States.
