These days are said to be gone, but until some serious independent auditing is done on that software, I don't believe it can be stated "clean" due to all these reports, and also others related to 's own launcher, throughout the years, that's my point. Riskware is any software that poses a security risk due to vulnerabilities. My.games' launcher has also been classified as malware in the past due to it automatically doing stuff like installing browser toolbars, sniffing on data (or ports, can't remember now) it wasn't supposed to, and being extremely hard to uninstall, and others - kinda like McAfee. My criticism isn't about P2P either, that's a totally valid way of offloading bandwidth and leaving the servers to do what only they can do.īut these reports (and others) began a long time ago, I don't think they'd still be around if it was just false positives, nor in so many different AVs, unless they're all equal as our dear troll proclaimed, and as anyone who actually knows anything about AVs will deny.
I get you and totally agree, I just don't think My.games would opt for *shared* hosting instead of dedicated / cloud ones (that would be a risk for *them*), nor that P2P would be the cause. The average Internet speed in Russia is ~7.4Mbit/s, torrent downloads are a nice way to make the most of that and image all the money it saves.įrom what I can see, a high-end seed server cost about 1/20 or even 1/30 of what a dedicated download server would cost anyway + The average user gives their net speed away as welll :csdsmile:ĭon't get me wrong, I don't support that in any way, but looking at capitalism and their home origin, it does make sense.
while it makes total sense that a company earning millions in monthly revenue would rend *shared* servers to run their games. Another one is that My.games' launcher uses P2P to distribute the game (which doesn't explain why other P2P-based games like War Thunder don't have the issue). Originally posted by Bait:Back to the actual topic, a long-running excuse is that My.games' launcher accesses shared servers where malware originated from, so AVs block it.
