Remove Settings Alerter by Koyote-Lab Inc

Settings Alerter is a program bundled with various Koyote products that is designed to 'protect' the settings of various toolbars installed or bundled by the software. Should another program (or user) attempt to modify the settings set by the software, the Settings Alerter will inform the user that something is attempting to change their web browser settings. This program is most notably bundled with various potentially unwanted programs by the company itself or various toolbars such as the Searchqu Toolbar and the FantastiGames Toolbar.

The most used version is 4.5.0.5054, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. The main program executable is datamngrUI.exe. A vast majority of those who have this installed end up removing it just after a couple weeks. The software installer includes 39 files and is usually about 18.2 MB (19,082,089 bytes).
