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 executable is filecure.exe and has been seen to consume an average CPU load of less than one percent. Many users end up uninstalling this after less than a month of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 5 files and is usually about 3.96 MB (4,153,853 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows Vista (SP2).
