Overview

Windward System Five is a software program developed by Windward Software Inc. The most common release is 5.42, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. 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 primary executable is named systemfive.exe. The setup package generally installs about 78 files and is usually about 299.45 MB (313,998,395 bytes).
