hackshield decided to update when i started maple up today
i read on a basil thread a few months back that hackers use hackshield to stuff to accounts or whatever. i honestly dont remember or know if it was true. should i be concerned about my hackshield updating itself out of nowhere when it never did this in like forever? kinda dont wana log in now haha

@sano4444 The thing you're talking about was a hack in Pando Media Booster, NOT Hackshield.
If you don't have PMB installed, you don't have to worry about that.
Hackshield updates all the time. Mostly you don't even notice it because normally it's quick. Sometimes it takes a little longer, so you do notice it, like this time.
It's NOT a problem, it's normal. Don't worry about it.
Yea, it said hackshield updating. im just as confused as you guys. according to my nexon folder there is no PMB. should i remover the Hackshield folder thats in my nexon folder too? it already "updated" so is it to late? is my account gonna get hack if i logged into it(havent done so yet.) yes, im quite paranoid. i put ALOT of time and money into this account to lose it.
@cherrytigers: hackshield is what updated.
[quote=minticecream12]Wait what? What does Pando Media Booster do...?[/quote]
Pando Media Boosters similar to torrenting, where people will seed to help you download faster. It was used by nexon awhile back, but has not been used recently. Hackers were able to utilize this to "update" a virus, and take info from a bunch of people. Its good to get rid of it, but nexon's not the only one who uses it. If i remember correctly, Riot also uses pmb.
Wait what? What does Pando Media Booster do...?
Don't know of a hackshield update personally, but YES, delete Pando Media Booster. That goes for everyone!
Hackshield update.....? no one else had that that I know of.
If you're talking about pando media booster, get rid of that thing immediately. Nexon is not taking responsibility for any hacked accounts.
Then again, it's their habit to just close their eyes and pretend the problem isn't there and hide the problems under the rug.
