Gears of War Message Board  

This file written by microsoft has malware characteristics, it fish your data and send it to microsoft.

Kapersky, AVG and spyware doctor and other AVS consider it as spyware and block it from contact with MS. This crashes your game. You must disable your antivirus/antispyware until a patch come along.

i tried disabling my AVG but still it does not work ...still my game crashes after splash screen..any other temp solution apart from patch?? So ****ed up with microsoft

microsoft fire wall
avg antivirus
anti spyware can't even have a trace in task manager.

if you want to play then strip naked and unplug the internet
let wargame-g4w have its way with your computer.

I suggest adding the relevant ports to your firewall, THEN turning them off. Also kapersky needs to be put in 3rd party compatability mode. To work at all, disabling kapersky DOES NOT work. Either you run it in 3pcm or UNINSTALL IT.
