BREAKING NEWS: TSR INSTALLS SPYWARE!
romonster:
I am not surprised by that. I have gotten viruses from them before. Stopped using them before Sims 2 came out.

To be fair, those screens are from Shane, who linked em on MTS IRC chat ;) That's his AV app.
I'm sure Pescado hunts down his viruses with a crossbow and finishes em off with his teeth.
See, that how I thought Pescado would deal with a virus as well. I still like it better than others I have used.

I guess that's what I get for heading down to that part of town without protection... I feel so dirty.
Dirty girl! DIRTY GIRL!
You should have been using a condom with spermicidal lube, a dental dam, douching afterwards (I know, douching is bad for you, but this is TSR), and then following up with a gyno appointment in a week.
I use Malware Bytes, Comodo, and Avast. Avast proved itself to be effective just this week. That siren is scary.

The other day I went on there for the shits and grins. It was ad city, which is kind of fucked up for a pay site. I mean how greedy can you get? But then I thought okay whatever. Then my web browser gets hijacked and taken to some completely different page that's all black except for a video player and some commercials and an ad for a show that I can't stop from playing are playing.
So I think okay I can just click somewhere to skip the ad and go back to where I was because that's how those obnoxious as work everywhere else.
Nope. No click through. No way to exit. I'm stuck with some damed video running on a all black background at some site I didn't choose to go to. So I just closed the damned browser down.
And of course three more windows of bullshit pop up. ::)
Luckily, I didn't catch anything from it, but seriously? Is that the kind of shit you have to go through to go to their site if you don't subscribe? And I sincerely hope the people dumb enough to pay aren't subjected to that too.

Well, this is my first post. I'm Shane - the taker of the aforementioned screencaps.
To answer questions asked here & pmbd, the alerts came up both while installing, launching and running the program.
-On installation the program adds itself to the startup registry without asking permission. This means by default it will try to launch every time Windows does. (I didn't screencap this 'alert')
-When launching the program, the "Attempts to communicate with the internet" alert popped up. This is so the program can show you the latest subscriber downloads available on TSR, as well as offer you 30% off a subscription. This connection between the workshop and TSR is always open, the program launches with Windows if you remember.

- When using the various 'features' or saving a file using the tool, the program library injection alert popped up.
