Overview
Ready Reference CD is a software program developed by Encyclopaedia Britannica. The most common release is 2011.0.0.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. 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 primary executable is named airtel_logo_screensaver.exe. The setup package generally installs about 49 files. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 7. While about 63% of users of Ready Reference CD come from India, it is also popular in the United States and United Arab Emirates.
