Destination Sol
by Milosh Petrov
Overview
Destination Sol is a program developed by Milosh Petrov. 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 Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. 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 sol.exe. The software installer includes 82 files and is usually about 26.57 MB (27,857,703 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 10 as well as Windows 7 (SP1). While about 66% of users of Destination Sol come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Canada.
