u kidding me? 2 extra programms in registry and startup, even after UNINSTALL the game

[Elon Musk]

I got 2 really dubios programs in my task manager STARTUP
DUDE
I opened the game for 11 minutes and uninstalled, dude, ELEVEN MINUTES and now there is a permanent file in my STARTUP, I could disable it from STARTUP but I am unable to find it, maybe it got put in my registry, who knows
but DUDE??? Are you for ♥♥♥♥♥ real???

[Elon Musk]

bro, I found it, 2 additional programs in my registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

u can find 2, one is number 1 the AF_counter and the other one is AF_uuid with your unique user id, they are tracking our pc?

Explain

So much hysteria. They're there because the game is based on a mobile game. Just disable them in startup and they'll never run again. Delete permanently when you uninstall the game.

Which "dude" and "bro" are you talking to? Some surfer dimwit? The fellow gamers in here? Why would I waste my time explaining anything to you? Do you think we are obliged to give you any further explanation? Dream on.

Another parroting social media

Never understood why people feel the need to post a thread and wait for an answer when you can google it.

You can review the startup apps using a free program called "Autoruns for Windows." You can use the same app to delete them from the registry and the startup location. When launching it you will see AF_counter_(7 numbers or APPID) and AF_uuid_(7 numbers or APPID).

Details on what AF_counter_[APPID] and AF_uuid_[APPID] is used for can be found here:
https://dev.appsflyer.com/hc/docs/nativepc-vanilla

From reading a lot of different threads on these specifically, they're used to track what you do in game by connecting this info to the AppsFlyer APIs over HTTPS. In other words, I'm not seeing the correlation or the need for panic that a lot of people in the negative reviews seem to think that these two programs are somehow doing something in the background. I'd be willing to edit this message if someone finds out something that is concerning about these.

As suggested above, I would just recommend uninstalling the game and then using Autoruns for Windows to delete the keys/startup exes. Or just delete them from the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and don't re-launch the game.

These only re-create themselves when you launch the game.

This was horrible bait.

It is BS. But go to HKEY and delte the two lines of code and you are done with this Netease malware.
