Get-a-Clip is a software program developed by Get a Clip. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. 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 get-a-clip.exe. The setup package generally installs about 11 files and is usually about 28.24 MB (29,610,074 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 98% of users of Get-a-Clip come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada.
