These same users claim that the clcr.exe process is capable of creating and injecting keys and entries into the Windows System Registry, in order for the system to allow the clcr.exe process to implement its self-activating functionalities during system startup. These users also state that the clcr.exe process is embedded with certain functionalities that allow it to operate as a hidden background process during system runtime, in order to secretly search for system vulnerabilities that the clcr.exe process can exploit and use to download more malicious programs unto the system. These system vulnerabilities include outdated Web browsers that the clcr.exe process can hijack in order to replace the homepage settings and redirect the Web browser to predesignated IP addresses of Web servers that are managed by the authors of the clcr.exe process, or unprotected TCP/IP network ports that can be used by the clcr.exe process for initiating contact with the remote servers of its authors.
