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 main program executable is Idle # Crawler.exe. Typically most users end up uninstalling this just after a few days. The software installer includes 4 files and is usually about 68.54 MB (71,867,892 bytes).
