      'Description'   => %q{
        This module will bypass Windows UAC by utilizing the trusted publisher
        certificate through process injection. It will spawn a second shell that
        has the UAC flag turned off. This module uses the Reflective DLL Injection
        technique to drop only the DLL payload binary instead of three seperate
        binaries in the standard technique. However, it requires the correct
        architecture to be selected, (use x64 for SYSWOW64 systems also).
