WARNING: Dangerous Hidden content in cRPG launcher!

Dear cRPG community!

This just came in;

 It turned out that this new invention, the cRPG launcher, has some kind of a hidden content within it's files.
  Be advised, for I have no idea what this could be, who knows? Could be a possible data collector, or some malicious program,
  that could  fry your OS?

Our intel on this is minimal, got it via IRC, and we've just seen a tiny bit of CMP/equus africanus asinus crew's evil plans. To dominate and enslave all of our computers, our privacy is in DANGER!

You'll find a screenshot of our only known information about the situation, I'll copy out the important parts for you though.

[20:32] <Illusion___> cmp
[20:32] <Illusion___> what kind of malware can we expect from the loader in the future?
[20:32] <Illusion___> gonna make origin look like child's play i hope
[20:33] <@cmp> Illusion_ what
[20:34] <@cmp> why are you talking like it's gonna happen in the future?
[20:34] <@cmp> it's already there.
[20:34] <Christo> o.o
[20:37] <@cmp> did you read the eula?
[20:37] <@cmp> we put some nasty shit in there
[20:37] <Illusion___> what eula
[20:37] <Illusion___> :O
[20:37] <Christo> O.O
[20:37] <Illusion___> and people actually read that shit?
[20:37] <@cmp> the one that flashes for 0.0001 microseconds when you start the launcher
[20:37] <Illusion___> dammit
[20:37] <Christo> lol
[20:37] <Illusion___> i knew i saw something
[20:37] <Illusion___> and clicking play accepts it right?
[20:38] <@cmp> yes
[20:38] <Illusion___> damn...you guys are good
[20:38] <@cmp> by now 2000 players legally agreed that i own them
[20:38] <Illusion___> lmao
[20:38] <Christo> Sneaky bastards.
[20:38] <Illusion___> Christo
[20:38] <Illusion___> screenshot and post in forums
[20:38] <Illusion___> the public must know the truth

Did you ever think about it? Maybe we have signed something that we never knew about?
 I advise a full-scale malware and virus scan immediately.
  Maybe it's already too late..
 
I'll try to find out more about the subject as fast as I can.

THE PUBLIC MUST KNOW THE TRUTH.
 
Christo.

You guys actually installed it?
Didn't your browser tell you only to open trustworthy executable files?

No....It usually does though.  Must be part of the scam.  It's a good thing the cRPG playerbase is poor.  Our credit card and bank accounts will not aide you in any way.

I actually had my anti virus flag and remove the launcher, then had to tell it to okay the launcher... It then flagged the process, which I foolishly allowed as well!

Oh, the humanity!
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Just so you know  :D

Even an anti-virus scan won't really help you as if (very unlikely if you want my opinion) the dev-team put anything funny in the exe, your antivirus has zero chances of being aware of it's existence. It can only protect you against known virus-like code. And if they want it, the devs can make anything run on your computer, in a completely legit way, with the update feature. RATs, that kind of thing. Time-consuming, but doable.
