"Spyware" dll in P99's patch files.

[Gustoo]

OP your topic sucks but I’m giving it 5 stars because Rogean posted here.

Please discuss Red rogean

Lots of applications monitor things, especially when online gameplay is involved. So far it's been ok for me.

I've only had Menden remind me once to fix my tie when it was a little off, I appreciate the extra effort tbh.

But no, we are not collecting your processes/windows. The DLL gets flagged by Antiviruses because it uses obfuscation technologies. Those technologies are also commonly used by viruses, so if an AV company decided to blacklist sections of the obfuscation code, then it will flag. We do attempt to improve that by code signing and reporting to the AV companies when needed.

"The others are also doing it, and they're even worse than us, see....!"

Nah, Rogean, that doesn't quite (there you go, Spithridates) cut it.

What you are doing ís bad. That's the entire point here. And you especially know that you've hit the nail perfectly on the head when the trolls all surface immediately after ;-)

Your "we are not collecting your processes/windows" is a statement that you can't possibly prove, so it doesn't really get us anywhere. And the potential constant monitoring of thousands of players processes/windows are "bad" enough here, Rogean, you don't even have to be collecting anything, you obviously know that already.

So why not just start owing up to some of this by putting a huge sign alongside your "patch files" on your front page, stating that you're monitoring peoples windows in order to uphold your "rules". That would be the honest thing to do and at least a start, but you don't really have any intentions of actually informing 99.9 % of your players, do you now, Rogean ;-)

And "obfuscation technologies", haha, good one ;-)

You go right ahead and use those then. How completely wonderful for you ;-)

People voluntarily playing any game whatsoever with this kind of spyware attached to it clearly isn't the smartest bunch, as we can also see right here ;-)
