Overview
commcmd.dll executes as a process under the SYSTEM account with extensive privileges (the system and the administrator accounts have the same file privileges). It is an auto-starting process that used the Windows Task Scheduler service to load when the user logs into Windows (sometimes this is required to bypass the UAC protection).
