Golf With Your Friends
by Blacklight Interactive
Overview
Golf With Your Friends is a software program developed by Blacklight Interactive.

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 Golf With Friends.exe. The setup package generally installs about 74 files and is usually about 1.14 GB (1,223,595,489 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1).
