Default Re: PSA: PokerTracker.com hacked - be aware.

The auto-update is just a self-extracting tool that overwrites the .dll's of pokertracker... for a trojan to be 'embedded' in PokerTracker they'd need the source code for pokertracker, which I doubt was on the website.

As far as other trojans, etc, scan the file before running it in case they're smart enough to name it something and change the PT website so that PT thinks it needs an update.

This is 95% paranoia, IMO, but it never hurts to be safe to scan whatever you download.
