Zona
Overview

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 programs's main executable is zona.exe and has been seen to consume an average CPU of less than one percent, and utilizes about 106.85 MB of memory. It also includes a system tray icon that is displayed in the notifications area while the program is running. The setup package generally installs about 9 files and is usually about 15.85 MB (16,624,391 bytes). The installed file ZonaUpdater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 31% of users of Zona come from the United States, it is also popular in Russia and UA.
