Hello!
I am Moni from the french community.
Recently, by searching tutorials for MMF, I found this webpage:
http://cyberlander.free.fr/prjxamateurs.htm
Then I read a text about RM2K3, and it says that Tybee Software putted a KeyLogger (a spyware that sends everything you write on the keyboard, even passwords and credit card numbers) named "IamBigBrother" in rm2k3!!
I know that crankeye is a big community, so I want to ask if you ever heard about this.
Anyway, I prefer rm2k and rmxp, but I want to know if that's true.
Thanks you.

Moni

I doubt the original makers would include such malice spyware in with their program, it could have been added by a third party who then offer it in free downloads of 2k3 (as they do with many programs). I could be wrong on this, but yeh~

If you have a decent computer protection program it should be fine.
