Capcom's Streetfighter rootkit capcom.sys signed by a still valid Symantec cert
- FrozenVoid 10y agoPeople ask me why i only play 'old games'. This shit modern companies do with DRM and anti-cheating(like e.g. GameGuard and similar invasive 'drivers') can't be trusted - its invasive, hidden deep in EULA excuses and closed-source. Such "root-level" software could arrive in your favorite game as update with vague note of "enhanced cheater detection". They had to rollback after backlash and exposure http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/23/capcom_street_fighter_v/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/23/capcom_street_fighte...
