Well, when I first encountered this program, it shut me out of Helbreath(the game which had made me download it in the first place, and I wasn't allowed to NOT install NProtect) for the whole of Labour Day that year(about 48 hours) In fact, it hosed ALL Win9x users. After that, it created a lot of lag, and other conflicts in the game, resulting in me quitting and my brother wiping all traces of the program from the HDD. This has led me to suspect that South Korean game companies ONLY have Win2k/XP, and thus, never bother with testing of Win9x system(ASSumption that others are like yourself, and have access to the same resources that you do. The biggest failure of any game company.) Of course, they are blind to the fact that Win9x is BY FAR the most commonly used OS in the world at present(until such time as Micro$haft decides to force all 9x users to upgrade to whatever spyware-pre-installed OS they may release).
Further, NProtect doesn't have any actual use. The ONE noticeable difference that might have POSSIBLY prevented hacking, was that anyone who hit alt-tab was automatically booted from the game.
Any lawyers on this board? I want to know the legal implications of a gaming company installing 3rd party software without my permission. As far as I'm concerned, NProtect is MAL-WARE, and I did not authorise the installation of any 3rd party software in my system, especially one that interferes with the routine operation of my computer. And no, I believe the ToA does NOT say that they are allowed to install anything OTHER than the files for the game itself. I want to sue! :angry:
