Overview

Upon installation, it defines an auto-start registry entry which allows the program run on each boot for the user which installed it.

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 installer includes 57 files and is usually about 5.88 MB (6,167,597 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 10.
