Archived from groups: rec>gambling>poker (more info?)

Hey, just installed Ad Aware SE on the puter, and ran a scan. One
"dangerous item" was marked as Micro-Gaming and was deleted. I know
Micro-Gaming provides the software for a lot of Prima Network rooms.
Is this something I should be concerned about. I mean what would be
the purpose of Micro-Gaming installing a spy progam?

You agreed to let them do it. You do read those terms of service agreements
before you click "yes" don't you? It's just used for your own protection.
They can check for collusion and multiple accounts. Oh, and to see what your
finances are so they can determine when to let you win or lose so they can
milk you.

Ad Aware catches a lot of cookies.

I had a gazzillion Microgaming casinos on my computer. I too had this come
up with Ad Aware. I remember it being no big deal and I had read about it
also at some gambling board. If I remember correctly, if you delete that
file that is recognized, then your store passwords and usernames for the
casinos are erased.

It's nothing, I wouldn't worry about it.

Use a formfiller like Roboform.com for sign-ins. When a sign-in page opens
a little window pops up, you click a button, and you're signed in.
Roboform itself has one master sign-in password that you can set to expire
by time or turn it off manually when you leave your computer.

Ad Aware SE is absolutely necessary. The anti-virus suites miss a lot of
the adware, which slows down your computer.

Microgaming and a lot of the other software providers add malware to your PC.
Casino on Net (Pacific Poker), Party Poker, and Golden Palace, are some other
bad malware providers.
