Re: BG is infected

Anyone have any security suggestions for making sure FFXIO doesn't become a host for this thing? <_<

Unless they are dumb enough to install things they shouldn't

This is like saying "Unless you invite random people to sleep in your basement, it's not your fault if your stuff gets stolen.", when you leave your garage door open when you go on vacation.

Yes, it is your fault. Is what they're doing wrong? Sure. Does that excuse the fact that they're just going after low hanging fruit, and you made yourself an incredibly easy target? Absolutely not.

BTW, there is a legitimate smart.dll. It's existence isn't necessarily an indicator of anything.

I know that windowblinds and rivatuner both ship with a smart.dll.

When people stops being stupid and stops buying gil and accounts from them.

While it is true you always have to take measures to defend yourself it's the RMTs (and the people who buy things from them) to blame here, not the people who's account got stolen.

(Unless they are dumb enough to install things they shouldn't by their own free will, then it simply becomes a gift from them to RMTs).

Re: BG is infected

when is this going to stop...

When people take personal responsibility and RMT find it nearly impossible to steal any accounts.


Or, in other words, never, so just cover your own ass.

Seriously, when is this going to stop...

When it stops being effective.

Just a heads up to any of you who frequent Blue Gartr. Apparently, it's infected with an old frame. Make sure to update your flash player if you haven't already. Also, make sure to check for smart.dll if you haven't updated your flashplayer, or do it anyways.
