What is Alarm? (from Bluefive software)
Alarm is a digital clock that you can set to display a message and play a sound at a time of your choice. It is meant to be of help when you want to be warned while you are working (and chances are big you are going to forget you have to do this very important thing later on)...
Overview
Alarm is a program developed by Bluefive software. The most used version is 2.0.6, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The main program executable is alarm.exe. The software installer includes 3 files and is usually about 1.03 MB (1,083,581 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 10. While about 50% of users of Alarm come from the United States, it is also popular in France and United Kingdom.
