CryptoPrevent
from Foolish IT, LLC
Overview
CryptoPrevent is a software program developed by Foolish IT. The most common release is 9.0.0.0, with over 2% 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 primary executable is named cryptoprevent.exe. The setup package generally installs about 35 files and is usually about 3.33 MB (3,496,580 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 53% of users of CryptoPrevent come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and DK.
