Wings of Vi
by Grynsoft
Overview
Wings of Vi is a program developed by Grynsoft. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. 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 main program executable is Wings Of Vi.exe. The software installer includes 44 files and is usually about 88.19 MB (92,470,376 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 64% of users of Wings of Vi come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and France.
