GW.exe modifying some registries recently?

Hi, just got a view defense+ alerts from comodo with GW recently:

Don't mind the first row, it's another program. I allowed the second row because I thought it was just related to the recent update, but I'm still puzzled at the other change in registry settings (that's why I denied the others). Can anyone care to clarify for me one what's GW is trying to do with these files?

from what ive seen on my system an only thru regedit - gw sets its location and as far as i kno nothing else.Whats making me wonder is why gw on yours is trying to do a proxy server or even bypass a proxy server.
Only thing i can suggest is do a full malware/virus scan on your system incase there is something in there that shudnt be.If you have to uninstall gw then copy templates folder/screenshots and re-install.Also when you do a scan - use another av program as sometimes if a system is virused it can alter the current av and its often best to scan with 2 av programs incase of problems .Better to be safe than sorry.

Having 2 antivirus programs is not a good idea.

When some av fail at correct positives - isnt it always best to check with 2 ? you can easily uninstall one after thats why i suggested 2 - not meaning running 2 at exact same time.Years ago msn got hit by the chicken ( aka lol ) virus which was embedded in a picture of a chicken in a bikini - sadly this virus got pretty widespread thru msn messenger and mcaffee/norton actually failed to halt it or even detect it.
When im in doubt i`ll run 2 av`s to scan and even several malware/adware scanners as well

Run Malwarebytes and it's not a bad idea to check with a second AV program either - just don't use two all the time.

*personal note, would be to ditch comodo, 'cuz it's prone to such things and overall not very good, but that's only 50% personal preference and 50% fact, so it's up to you.

Hi thanks for all the replies. I'm running malwarebytes as we speak. Unfortunately, I really can't ditch comodo since my OS is a Windows server 2008 R2 enterprise version (very few AVs work under this OS and Comodo is one of them).

What I really want to know is whether or not some people have experienced this using Comodo or with some other AV that lets you know if a program is trying to edit the registries.

I'll see if malwarebytes picks up anything. If it doesn't, maybe I'll try deleting the GW.exe and re-downloading it.

Having two or more is a GOOD idea.

What's often bad, is having more than one doing real-time protection at the same time. In which case, use one for real-time protection, and the other(s) for on-demand scanning.

That's just kind of pointless, you don't need two anti-virus programs so why install them? there is no benefits which come from having two. You're not in any way getting "twice the protection", if anything they just slow down/clog up your PC effectively creating more problems than they would solve.

Back on topic: as Spirtz said, all guild wars does is makes a note of it's install path in the registry so it can find the gw.dat file.

O.K. I've ran my comp with malwarebytes, adaware and comodo anti-virus. No malicious devices involved.

I've downloaded a new game client from guildwars.com and still got the same results. I guess Anet must have some reason for doing this..... still why mess around with the proxy's registry?

Anyone here tech savvy enough to explain this?
