Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Overview

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a software program developed by Sledgehammer Games. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named s1_sp64_ship.exe. The setup package generally installs about 64 files and is usually about 25.29 MB (26,521,662 bytes). The installed file SteamAPIUpdater.dll is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 44% of users of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and France.
