    Default The "Specs research" => Cheating research

    Warning!

    It tried to have acces to:

    C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Menu Start\Programma's\
    C:\Documents and Settings\Laurens\Local Settings\Temp\
    C:\Documents and Settings\Laurens\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\
    C:\Documents and Settings\Laurens\Local Settings\Temp\History
    C:\.jagex_cache_32
    C:\Program Files\
    C:\WINDOWS\
    C:\WINDOWS\Temp
    D:\Program Files
    E:\Program Files

    And why should you login for something like this? I wouldn't risk it, and I blocked the sendings just in time (I hope)
    Luckily I have the portable Scar + SRL on my mobile phone

    i honestly doubt that jagex is sending out a program that is going to check if someone has scar. You cant ban someone because they have it anyway, because SCAR isnt solely used for RS. Im going to download it and send my specs, just to prove my point.

    Woops, I voted the last option before actually reading the whole thing

    Would this be illegal? Somebody read the Agreement thing and see if it says anything about accessing your personal files or w/e?

    I don't plan to send them though.

    I really doubt they are doing this to root out cheaters. They already eliminated about 99% of the cheaters with the new updates and there aren't that many left. This forum seems to possess a certain high state of paranoia.

    Check out the recent updates forum of the runescape forums.

    JaGex is screwing themselves over with this one, paranoia is so incredibly rampant. 90% of the recent updates forum is locked with threads like:

    Paranoia is frightening ramped. Its nothing. Don't do it; I did but I'm not worried. They can't access anything with out going against privacy laws.

    Actually, organisations is the correct British spelling. When we Americans adapted the British language, we changed the way certain words were spelled. We exchanged "ou" (armour) for just "o" (armor) and we replaced some of the "s" (organisations) with "z".

    And I still don't think that disclaimer proves what all of you are so worried about. The original agreement never states that Jagex has the right to search your computer for "illegal" software. If they did so, then they could get sued. I don't think they want that.

    Maybe it's an unofficial type of spyware, but it only does the following:
    You are about to download a program that will identify the following computer specifications:

    * your operating system
    * your graphics card
    * your CPU
    * your Java version
    * relevant graphical drivers
    Or did you mean in the Terms and Conditions. I searched the Terms and Conditions (as well as the update description) and could not find one instance of spyware. In fact I couldn't find the word spy.

    It says it does those things, why would it say. "and is a subject to the terms and conditions."

    it says no AUTOING in the terms... It Does What They Say + More...

    They say what it does, not all of it though.

    JaGex clearly has the legal right to, if you accept the download, do what ever is in their Terms & Conditions.

    "Whilst we reserve the right to monitor and take action upon inappropriate use of any Jagex Product"

    They define inappropriate use as against the rules, so they have the right to monitor for it, and that falls under this download.

    Anyways, the real question we should be asking is, if the thread creator's original post is true, what are they doing looking in your temp files for internet history and your program files?

    They certainly do not need to look there to find your driver and hardware data.

    I haven't auto'd recently, so I wasn't on the defensive..I forgot I had the auto all together.

    Unluckily, I still had the auto's in my temp folder..

    God..If I get banned..I'll be so pissed.

    Out of curiousity, how did you find this information? Where it was snooping around..

    Thanks.

    I have the portable scar, moved all the scripts and deleted my temp and history and let them scan.. Well, it took less than a second. And even programs like PcMark, to benchmark your PC, need like 30 seconds to find your Graphics driver..
