Overview

dfdwiz.exe executes as a process with the local user's privileges typically within the context of its parent services.exe (Services and Controller app by Microsoft). 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). This version is designed to run on Windows 7 and is compiled as a 32 bit program.
