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 primary executable is named Diskeeper.exe. The setup package generally installs about 44 files and is usually about 28.93 MB (30,331,955 bytes).
