Overview
WindowSMART 2013 is a software program developed by Dojo North Software. The most common release is 3.1.10.22, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 18 files and is usually about 19.09 MB (20,013,069 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1).
