Remove Scott's Box Shot Maker by Scott A. Swedo...

Overview

Scott's Box Shot Maker is a software program developed by Scott A. Swedorski. 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. 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 Unwise32.exe. The setup package generally installs about 25 files and is usually about 44.77 MB (46,949,752 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows Vista (SP2). While about 90% of users of Scott's Box Shot Maker come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada.
