Well, I never had trust in you to begin with, so nothing has been lost.

Explaining things as done so above does not break trust, it builds it.

Exactly what I was thinking.

This is excellent information, and appreciate the effort of being up-front and honest. If only the corporations could do so. Again, thanks.

Should I proceed?

I love your site, and what you do for the community Dark0ne.

 

I have been installing well over 5-6gb of mods in the last week, and I noticed something odd when I installed a mod via NMM. My UAC said something was being installed and I, being tired just clicked on yes. Unfortunately I had installed about 10-15 mods and have no idea which mod caused the issue.

 

When I checked to see "what" was installed, it said it was Synaptics Pointing Device Driver. I googled it and it is something to do with the laptop mouse pad "thingy". I am on a pc and don't have this device at all. So I tried to uninstall it via Control Panel and it stated that the system could not uninstall the program because it was not installed. I ran a virus scan with Avast, used TDSkiller, Malwarebytes, ESET online scanner and many others and nothing was found.

 

Since this program installed, I get delays when typing in web browsers and oddly enough I have even lost 10-15 fps when using mods that alter the fallout 4 exe such as post processing mods using Reshade. Prior to this issue, I had no issues at all downloading any files or with any fps lags, even with the same presets using this method.

 

I am concerned that maybe one of the reshade template/preset mods may have had a virus "dll" in it, possibly a keylogger. The dll file is synlSDLL.dll

 

If you need more info, feel free to contact me.

[eoinroon]

thanks for telling us about this darrk0ne.

keep up the good work

I agree, no trust broken Dark0ne. I dont believe there is any type of system that is 100% hack proof. if someone wants in bad enough, they will find a way. You all have done a wonderful job keeping our information safe, just understand your not gods, things happen. Getting the word out about this was the right move though, it shows you are not trying to keep us in the dark and for that I personally thank you.

[Puff3r]

Thanks for the heads up.
