BUFFALO NAS Navigator2
by Buffalo Inc.
Overview
BUFFALO NAS Navigator2 is a software program developed by Buffalo. The most common release is ?2.82, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up. 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 primary executable is named nasnavi.exe. The setup package generally installs about 12 files and is usually about 16.38 MB (17,176,321 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 45% of users of BUFFALO NAS Navigator2 come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and Japan.
