BREAKING NEWS: TSR INSTALLS SPYWARE!
J. M. Pescado:
Jfade is clearly not familiar with the many techniques which exist for sending messages without including the content of the message in the actual message, however. That is the obvious approach that would be used in such a scenario, which is why it escapes packetsniffing. Everyone knows that everyone and their dog has access to a packetsniffer, and if you want to hide a message in a transmission, you cannot obviously place the message in the transmission, and even encrypting the message so it looks like gibberish is suspicious: You have to hide the message in the metadata of the transmission. A pattern of seemingly innocent requests, a specific timing of requests, or even the fact that the request was made at ALL can all constitute a message hidden from plain sight. You can clearly see that this is happening, because the message is not apparently inside the actual transmission. The fact that it has been hidden in such a manner proves its malicious intent.

Trend Micro Internet Security is known to throw false positives for a number of programs with similar functionality.
Well, this much is true. For a while, Trend did not let TS2 run for some reason, and I had to turn it off to play. (This has since stopped, either because of a better version of Trend, or because I installed AL.) It has occasionally tried to tell me that various other games are problematic too, but I don't remember if those were the exact error messages.
In any case, I wouldn't trust a TSR program just on principle, and I'm not impressed by the amount of TSR-related ads in it either.
Doc Doofus:
I haven't messed with the new TSR program, and probably won't. But is it in anyway sneaker than something that can be just shut down by cutting it off at the firewall?
Cupcake:
Toma$$ is sticking to his story that it is equal to the Sims 3 Launcher, which yes, I do consider malicious. I did not ask for your sodding adverts, and I will choose what I do with my computer without TSR telling me it MUST have access to my Internet connection and waste my bandwidth, to feed me complete shit.
And as for cutting it off at the firewall- who says it will run if it has no Internet connection?
dedust:
Mmmm.
Too bad for TSR I don't use Windows. EAxis should've made the game run better on OSX, so we should't have to worry about poo on our systems.
Lovely though :P
