Gw.exe is the game "Guild wars" It used the internet as its a multiplayer game! If you dont own guildwars close the process in task manager and download secruity task manager from "http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/index.html?ref=file.net" This will clear the process! Its a VIRUS if u dont own guildwars :(
