Multitimer
The Multitimer software is promoted as a productivity application for Windows. The Multitimer application is said to allow users o track time zones, set countdowns, and set up events of importance. The Multitimer software comes with a GNU Free License, and PC users are not required to pay for the program. However, that does not mean it is not monetized in another form. It was found that Multitimer collects non-personally identifiable data like your Internet history, IP address, and software configuration for market development purposes. PC users who may be using the Multitimer software may see ads with the slogan 'Powered by Multitimer' on frequently visited pages.
The program at hand is known to add an autorun key to the Registry and boot with Windows.
