Depends on the skin. If the skins gives an obvious advantage (IE: character skins which increase the visibility of players) it will be counted as a model hack. If in doubt leave well alone.

Already played that more today than I have BC2 in the last month or two.

More likely as this is a PUP they are using a hash based system, others will base detection on what is found at the EP. Obviously there are other factors to consider when creating detections. Very few scanners however will use string based detection these days. They are too easily circumvented with a high likely hood of FP detections.

Only 2 of those detections are actually FP's. The others are simply reporting potentially unwanted programs (PUP). Why? Because some network/IT admins would not appreciate IRC clients being used inside their corp networks, and also some malware uses mIRC as a propagation method/backdoor. If you scan any version of mIRC itself (or Xchat etc) you will see similar results: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/57a008b2303d598cd7ce40d66f64da5b4b18f4e30d073e1ff14b19bea1a73ad3-1280256838

Agreed. If this pans out the way we hope I'll turn off our BC2 servers and will finally be able to have full access to our server again. Stupid ranked restrictions.

Server version R17 is available now (planned roll out for Sunday 25th) which should take care of cracked servers via whitelisting anyway.

Actually that looks pretty decent, especially for the price. Wonder what it goes for on the PC platform though.

This says it all really. Norton may have a reactive detection rate > 90% however with a proactive (heuristic) detection rate well below 50% it really is poor when it comes to personal security. Long gone are the days when a few 100 pieces of unique malware were collected per week, now AV companies are receiving hundreds of thousands per week, making static signature / wildcard sigs a thing of the past. Is the engines behavioural analysis is not up to scratch you are not protected.

Your GUID is globally banned with Even Balance, you will have to take it up with them here http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=ttsystem.php&game=cod4

4. Your local system security is compromised (RAT/Keylogger etc).

I pay for a dedicated game server, a separate web server and yet another server we use for TS (among other things), f*ck right off if I'm shelling out even more for a game that I may or may not play from week to week.

I won't touch any game that goes down the pay per play route. If all games go that way then I'll stick with the classics.

It's not the patching itself that is the issue, it's the in house compliance, checking with our developers, testing patches on various machines in various departments etc and then hoping that the random sample you tested and holds true for every other machine under your umbrella.

So are the constant security updates for MS office that we have to test and roll out over 100's of machines.

Wonder how long it takes this guy to get banned from his other 3 recently purchased games :P http://www.pbbans.com/mpi/results.php?srchtype=GUID&srchdata=d77ef608e98f1ff3ddd568591673c181&game_id=27&showLG=yes&showAT=no&safeview=no http://www.pbbans.com/mpi/results.php?srchtype=GUID&srchdata=0f0aa1a7e85d91c7095367a2285dd033&game_id=33&showLG=yes&showAT=no&safeview=no

Same engine so I'm guessing they just changes some offsets of the pointers>structs. Recycled code by the copy & paste generation.

Key won't do you much good at the moment either ... their site has been down for several hours now. All out DDoS F5 attack on there at the moment.

Could be worse ...

Generally that's cause by connection issues (high ping/latency, firewall etc).

Gaming Deluxe seem to do some cheap boxes although I've not personally used them so you might want to ask around for some testimonials. If you want to go fully self managed check OVH.co.uk, high spec boxes and very attractive prices.
