It adds registry entry for the current user which will allow the program to automatically start each time it is rebooted. 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 8 files and is usually about 25.31 MB (26,543,793 bytes). The installed file liveupdate.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.

While about 34% of users of FIBO Group come from Iran, it is also popular in the United States and Russia.
