In response to post #15486210. dude its not like the hacker just gives you his ip,he probbably went trough several tunneling methods to avoid ip ban.i know i would if i planned to do something as foul as this.

In response to post #15481740. well guess what,i got an adsl2+ with barely over 128kb. and the ping-time you get is not just based on speed,its based on location,and im far east,and the servers im playing on are far west,soOoOo a properly configured firewall,or whatever,still impacts me somewhere around 6 times as you. winch meaNS,eighter i dump my firewall and antivirus and let the trojans attack and manualy fight against them using windows as my strongest defense,or i go sit down and play some strategic non-live game that looks pathetic to me. Also,great advice on dumping the macaffee/norton,i would also suggest dumping nod32 if you have it,its a resource monster and not very effective eighter.(i know for fact that some ransomwares can disable it even if its active when the attack is made) btw im still waiting for the part where you point out the parts where i wasn't 100% correct...maybe i could learn from you?

In response to post #15480500. #15481045 is also a reply to the same post. ''Wait, you drop your anti-virus software to play an online game that is connected to unknown persons?'' lol,what kind of question is that? my guess is that you've never experianced playing on such a high quality that you can't even afford to lose 1% of your system resource in order to reach a MINIMUM playble fps. as far as i know,most gamers who know their way around taking the game engine to its maxiumum limit for high-end quality that the game itself(without additional acessories) cannot produce,usualy,don't have the strongest rigs,i personaly have a normal rig,my system specs are 5 years old,i have a normal hdd,a normal pair of 4gb ram memories,and a normal 2600-k intel cpu,and a rather down to below avrege 1gb AMD graphic thats outdated by 2 generations. my skyrim folder is around 50GB,my character has been the same for the past 1 and a half years,i use over 500 mods,most of them graphic and enviorment related,i even use 2k skyrim textures,my avrage fps(due to Software and ONLY software changes,this means i don't overclock my system or use higher voltage for cpu or anything) is stable at 80 while using vsync,Realvision ENB with all its requirments,maximised skyrim configs,(grass is set to visible at 11000 distance/shadowmaskquarter is set to 4(highest)/shadow quality is set to 2K/and every other extream tweak you can imagine),and i also use tridef 3d and i play the game in 3d with OP sharpening that comes in conjuction with power-3d features that mix with enb. this is possible trough windows,and software related techniques that i use to minimize the load that the system takes from anything other than the game itself. its safe to say if i didn't make the tweaks,and if i for example left,AVG free version(winch really isn't soppoused to overload the system that much and usualy runs at 2% cpu usage) the game would CTD on startup. that being said,i can play over 10 hours in 3d with all the above configs without a single crash. --------------------------- yes i do drop my Firewall(that comes with my antivirus),to play an online game that is connected to ''unknown persons???--no ofcourse not,i drop it to connect to rather safe game servers....''. REASON for this is to increase ping-time,in guild wars or team matches where even a -10 lagitme could mean the diffrence between a bullet going trough your's or your enemies head,the diffrence between an enabled antivirus and a disabled antivirus,is toroughly visible.

you relise that if you don't find this so called ''hacker'' winch is probbably nothing more than just noob who was playing around and got lucky,he will use the same exact method,and would probbably sucseed next time as well,Right??? the so called hacker ,i have to admit,must be pretty smart,because i never tought of it this way because never had any foul intentions,but this is a central hub for millions of gamers,gamers who mostly intentionaly disable their anti virus and firewall to boost their online-play-ping time,and reduce system load while playing a game as heavy as eighter skyrim or fallout 3,this was a calculated smart move,and since the security of your staff winch are surely experianced gamers,winch would then follow what i've said and probbably disable their security systems in the same order as any experianced player would,is naturaly below avrege,it was deffinetly the easiest way to infect a large number of people with a ridicoulessly low level of skill. as a possible soloution i would suggest the removal of altering or adding files via administrative prevelages given to staff,while keeping the ability to remove,and only,remove ''mod pages'' and not ''mod files''.
