Overview
Cisco Connect is a software program developed by Cisco Systems. The most common release is 1.4.11299.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

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 cisco connect.exe. The setup package generally installs about 12 files and is usually about 20.95 MB (21,966,978 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 88% of users of Cisco Connect come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada and Netherlands.
