Attempt to access the system registry detected

When Proactive Defense detects an attempt to access system registry keys, a notification pops up.

The notification provides the following information:

• the registry key being accessed;
• name of the file of the process that initiated the attempt to access the registry keys, including the path to it.

You are asked to select one of the following actions:

• Allow – allows the execution of the dangerous action once;
• Block – blocks the dangerous action once.

To perform the action you have selected automatically every time this activity is initiated on your computer, check the  Create a rule box.

If you are sure that any activity by the application that attempted to access system registry keys is not dangerous, add the application to the trusted application list.
