BREAKING NEWS: TSR INSTALLS SPYWARE!
Drakron:
That does not mean by itself that its spyware Sigmund , EA lancher and FUCKING STEAM do exactly the same thing ... of course STEAM is in fact spyware as it does record your activity and reports it back (Valve let that up slip when they started to talk about how long did people played HL and how many finished the game).
FAILshop likely just connects to the interwebs in order to throw those TSR ads that were reported (the Launcher does the same thing).
Doc Doofus:
It may not mean that it's spyware... But it is fucking arrogant.

<snipped pic>
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so have at it.
Which DLL modifies? can you post the details?
Sigmund:
You might not consider it spyware, but users who have tried it may not agree.

I had read Pescado's threat at MATY and decided to run my Panda Security before and after I installed the tool, besides I took away my internet connection to prevent the program from homming phone. Panda found nothing before installation of the tool, however, as soon as it was installed - two suspicious files aka spyware appeared in the scan.
Regardless of what it's called, a program that needlessly requires to be connected to the internet and installs dubious files onto my system is too close to the "spyware" definition for me.

-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.
That is so tacky. ::) At first I hated EA for opening that store, but now this has put things in a different perspective... I mean, after all it's their game to FUBAR as much as they want (which I'm afraid they already have quite a bit). But TSR profiting off of a game created by completely different group of greedy douchebags is incredibly stupid... and thus shows a cycle of greed that poisons our world. :(
