Instrument-Tuner
from NetCat Inc.
Overview
Instrument-Tuner is a software program developed by NetCat. 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 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 instrumenttuner.exe. The setup package is about 1.65 MB (1,733,926 bytes) when donwloaded. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows Vista (SP2). While about 50% of users of Instrument-Tuner come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and Italy.
