Swift switch not safe!?!

[Seren]

JAGeX do say you shouldn't use Programs like SwiftSiwtch to play Runescape..

[Tbh]

so is it safe or not

[Middlesbrough]

if you have any Norton firewall its safe

What i think the problem is is the type of code used by Strider when he makes the program. The "trojan downloader" is most likely just the update downloader in SwiftSwitch that is being mistaken for something else. If you have downloaded the program from Zybez.net it is highly likely to be safe.

Last i heard Jagex made Strider edit the program to meet their rules so that the program was legal, but Jagex kept changing their minds and ending up just adding their own world switcher. I wouldn't have thought the program is much good any more apart from some tools or the easy access to IRC. I'm not sure however as i quit ages ago.

About a month ago http://www.3hitu.com/ --- Wrote a notice on there main page as can be seen on 3hitu.com .. they sasid there was a torjan in it.. now people are showing us these screenies, but i highly expect it's to do with the AV's on that list, if u look the most leest know/shoddy AV's say its a virus, so theres probably nothing too worry about..

Zezima uses mIRC

Zezima uses mIRC

who cares?

SS is fine, the "trojan" is probably just a sniffer (used for updates) that has caught the attention of a overly cautious AV.

It is safe. People have posted about this on the RSC forums, but I can confirm it's safe. eSafe, Fortinet, Ikarus, Panda, and UNA are poorly put together virus scanners.

Also, read this thread.
