Settings Manager is an adware program that pretends to be a legitimate one. It’s name could indeed cause confusion and, since users aren’t too sure about it, they don’t really bother trying to uninstall it. And when they do try, they end up trapped because Settings Manager does everything it can to make sure it doesn’t get removed from the operating system where it’s installed. It’s created by Aztec Media Settings Manager and is often detected as an unwanted program by a great number of anti-virus programs.
