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 fraps.exe. The setup package generally installs about 163 files and is usually about 1.04 GB (1,112,112,704 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 37% of users of Fraps come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and France.
