The winserver.exe process has also been reported by the same users as capable of creating keys and entries that it then integrates into the Windows System Registry, in order for the winserver.exe process to automatically initialize during system startup. The same user reports stated that the winserver.exe process then proceeds to operate as a background process without user consent during system runtime, in order to search for vulnerable TCP/IP network ports that it can exploit and use to initiate contact with the Web servers of its authors. The winserver.exe process, according to the same user reports, is said to covertly gather private information and Internet browsing data from the infected Windows-based system and its default Web browser, and these stolen details are then uploaded by the winserver.exe process to predesignated Web servers that are managed and operated by its authors.
