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 Asilk'sModManager.exe. The setup package generally installs about 50 files and is usually about 3.3 MB (3,455,332 bytes). The program is built using the Nokia Qt cross-platforms native C++ framework.
