Overview
CyberGhost VPN is a program developed by CyberGhost S.R.L. 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 background controller service that is set to automatically run. 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 programs's main executable is CGVPNCliService.exe and has been seen to consume an average CPU of less than one percent, and utilizes about 7.87 MB of memory. The software installer includes 28 files and is usually about 64.21 MB (67,332,949 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 59% of users of CyberGhost VPN come from Germany, it is also popular in the United States and France.
