description: This particular behavior is typically executed when an adversary or malware
gains access to an endpoint and begins to perform execution and to evade detections.
Usually, a batch (.bat) file will be executed and multiple registry and scheduled
task modifications will occur. During triage, review parallel processes and identify
any further file modifications. Endpoint should be isolated.
