Default Re: virus in party update ?

I still think the problem with Party is much more likely to be a problem with their aggressive banned program detection methods than a real Trojan though

By all reasonable definitions of the term, Party *is* a trojan! - it records your keypresses, mouse movements, and captures your screen, then transmits such to a remote server.

The only difference is that we allow it to run to participate in the games they offer.


So while it pays to be cautious, do not be surprised if the heuristic detection methods of modern AV programs identify this security breach as such.

If you are downloading from the real partygaming servers, chances are it it safe.. lol no guarantees tho [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
