I'm sure my privacy and security has been compromised a long time ago anyway.

actually no, running mods is pretty secure process that cant do much to your computer...you are still launching the game's .exe which is merely reading resource type files for the mod.  But running completely foreign .exe's like the new launcher is HIGHLY dangerous

[Kafein]

Do you mean WSELoader.exe?
I dont see WSELauncher.exe

Ha yes, my mistake x)

Fixing it right now.

Hmm is this why my game cannot launch through the regular Warband launcher or through steam? It only works if I use the new special chadz launcher. Also, I notice some strange IPs popping up on my PeerBlock.

You can't play cRPG without using the WSELoader one way or another (through the cRPGLauncher or not)

I meant generally to a certain extent, not that it was happening through this mod. Statistics are pretty much always being taken and considered in some way or another though on a macro level.

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] <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

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.
