Don't d/l this software

I saw this over at amdmb.com and thought it would be helpful to post it over here as well. Seems to be a site giving away free software to improve your gaming experience. Make sure you check out their forums on the site before you d/l anything. I warned ya.

LMAO, great link . i think you have to give the company some credit since they let the comments on their forums, instead of just deleting them or so (or its just a really really bad and lazy "webmaster")

personally i stay far away from all this windows altering and improving junk. if you want your OS to run better, find out whats wrong and do it yourself. and i dont think its that hard to upgrade drivers manually once and awhile.

Thanks for the heads up Dragon. I probably wouldn't have bothered downloading this stuff anyways, but you know as well as I, that there are people that would.

So 200 kbs is just the right size for a trojan ?
I learn something new every day.
Thanks Dragon.

Don't go to outwar.com or you will be blessed with troj.outwar.a... some kids here at the cafe went there to test my defences, apparently.
The people who write these trojans and virii need to be drafted and forced to fight in a truly unjust war.

outwar actually installs the outwar toolbar, a browser hijacking utility, not really a trojan but just as intrusive.
