What "security software" is telling you this?
Does it give you any more details?
Does it say where flashgot.exe is located?

Your "security software" is wrong.
FlashGot.exe is not trying to "modify" anything.
It is trying to access your Windows registry
for reading in order to detect which download managers are installed.
You can check by yourself, since the extension is open source:
