Now don't get me wrong i love that someone is even giving some kinda support to Renegade because god knows EA won't. And i would like to have something out there to say that im not cheating because i have been kicked out of sniper servers because some mod thinks im cheating. And i know you guys have worked very hard to improve our gaming experience. But the problem with the installation of Renguard is essentially it is a virus, in that you install it and it sends information about your computer to another computer. The Real-Time RenGuard Statistics banner that you have on your web site is proof of that. You have access to infomation about all the computers renguard is installed on. Now what is stoping you or someone else , that has modded the Renguard program and telling people to install it because it stops cheats, from scanning my whole hard drive and sending infomation back to themself about my system either it be about whats in my renegade folder or the internet cache to find out private information like credit card numbers and other private infomation. Now im not saying that anyone here would do that but im saying that it could be done.

Honestly, fella, if anyone had wanted to find out about your private information, they could have done it in a lot easier ways than spending months developing an anti-cheat program. If you're THAT paranoid, don't use the internet from the computer you do your financial crap on (or just don't use the internet period, and save everyone else an earful of doom & gloom).

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

Now i wasnt saying that it was you or anyone else from this site that was going to do something wrong im saying what if someone uses your product's name or a mod of your product to make people install malicious programs onto your computer under the name of Renguard.

you can have my credit card number....and my sort code and my account number...my bank account is locked unless i give verification through 24hour telephone security services with info only i know they wont release funds....still want it?

Not everyone has one of those cards and alot of families use the same computer so if little bobby installed a virus someone could find out private information about the whole family. Now there is no reason to turn this thread into a a big fight because it one of the few that i think really discusses Renguard instead of people comming in here and bashing it. But i think with the identifcation of the problem there is no doubt a solution can be found

ditto chickendippers. 
I have stressed as much as I can that you shouldn't download RenGuard anywhere unless we link to it. At this point, all download mirrors are on servers directly owned by myself and Blazer.
I'm the bawss.
