    Not just spyware, but getting rid of windows hotfixes, powering down your virus protection and firewalls, including your network firewalls...

    Is this 'game' a scam to get people to hack into your pcs?

    Honestly, I would never power down my firewall, not for any game...

    I'm pretty sure not everyone has had to power down their firewall, and maybe it's been fixed, but still... The thought of it is terrible..

    I dunno, but as much as I want to play it, the whole spyware thing decided that I won't play it.
    I hope other people boycott that, as it's certainly not an appropriate action for a game developer to take.

    Personally I would never buy a game that spies on me such as this one...
