About (from SweetLabs)
reddit is an online community where users vote on content. It's a source for what's new and popular on the web. Users like you provide all of the content and decide, through voting, what's good and what's junk.
Overview
During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. 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 setup package generally installs about 18 files and is usually about 96.25 MB (100,928,627 bytes). The installed file HostAppServiceUpdater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered.
