Overview
setupsqm.exe 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). The assembly utilizes the .NET run-time framework (which is required to be installed on the PC). This version is installed on Windows 8 and is compiled as a 32 bit program.
