The spec.exe file is installed and used by Chaim.
The spec.exe file usually runs the same named process. This process silently works in background and performs harmful actions. It remains active while spec.exe is present in the system. Removing the file will immediately terminate a process and prevent it from running later. That is why you have to manually delete the spec.exe file.
