Overview
Auction Wizard 2000 is a software program developed by Standing Wave Software. The most common release is 2.4, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. 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 primary executable is named aw2000.exe.
