This is an ancient piece of software written back in the 90s by Adrian Lopez that interestingly enough still works to this day in toggling the visibility state of windows in Windows.
The version hosted by the Wayback Machine is 1.31:

Version 1.43 is also known to exist, but I could not find it online:

While not malicious, it has been bundled together with malware and used to hide the application windows of third party executables, like mIRC operating as a "zombie" (bot).
mdm.exe is in reality HideWindow by Adrian Lopez, but he's quite innocent otherwise.
