Overview
During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). 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 ffv_z_setup.exe. The setup package generally installs about 81 files and is usually about 57.57 MB (60,371,760 bytes). The installed file FFVCheckForUpdates.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.
