SlowBlast!
from World Wide Woodshed
Overview
SlowBlast! is a software program developed by World Wide Woodshed. 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 setup package generally installs about 6 files and is usually about 2.55 MB (2,678,520 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows XP. While about 83% of users of SlowBlast! come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom.
