SunsetScreen
from Skytopia
Overview
SunsetScreen is a program developed by Skytopia. Upon installation, it defines an auto-start registry entry which allows the program run on each boot for the user which installed it. 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. When installed, it will add a context menu handler to the Windows shell in order to provide quick access to the program. The main program executable is SunsetScreen.exe. The software installer includes 43 files and is usually about 733.79 KB (751,403 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 10 as well as Windows 7 (SP1). While about 54% of users of SunsetScreen come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Germany.
