SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics
Overview
SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics is a software program developed by Sega.

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 setup package generally installs about 45 files and is usually about 1.27 GB (1,359,044,845 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1).
