Max Payne 3

What is Max Payne 3?  (from Rockstar Games)

For Max Payne, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal.

Overview

Max Payne 3 is a software program developed by Rockstar 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 Max Payne 3 Trainer.exe. The setup package generally installs about 61 files and is usually about 32.56 MB (34,140,160 bytes). The installed file update.exe 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 49% of users of Max Payne 3 come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Germany.
