Re: WARNING: TROJAN DETECTED IN SOME OF THE APPLICATIONS THAT CLAIM THEY WOULD FIX T

@Mos_Geroy 

I just scanned the launchers with Malwarebytes and it says it's clean. I'm fairly sure that's a false positive, or a "reputation-based" detection, which are 100% worthless, since they just mean the scanner doesn't know the file, and nothing else.

What did you scan it with, and what exactly did it claim?

Oh, and if you want to link to DDWrapper, maybe just link to the author's actual website instead of some dodgy-looking generated link.

http://bitpatch.com/ddwrapper.html

The only thing "not safe" about it is that it doesn't use https. Which is really not the horror you make it out to be... lots of older sites still use http.

    I have used Bitdefender. Anyways, people should not use something that is not necessary since those binaries often claim they make life easier while slipping a trojan in.

    The steps I have indicated are sufficient without installing any binaries, clients, etc... 

    I personally, don't like EA and their incompetency sometimes, but this time, I believe better not to do something totally risky and unknown. 

    As for http, the risk is rather whether or not the site has been hacked because old sites are rather vulnerable to poisoning or some geek trying to hack them.

    I know you're the person who originally posted those sites and links.

    It is not personal, I'm trying to protect the young gamers who are not aware from infecting their computers and to prevent the possibility of their info/credit cards getting stolen and frauded or blackmailed.

    A trojan is a trojan, there is zero benefits of installing something that contains a trojan since it only compromises the security of the device and sends back information to the host.
