I know there's a few threads about MW2 on here already but I think this warrants its own.

None of this appears to be confirmed however it's worth keeping it in mind if you are playing it online.

Fun!

I've sent out an email to our threat discussion list at work. This could get interesting.

scary factor =\

Wow, I better get a virus checker before I start playing more MW2 online :(

haha, Peer-to-Peer multiplayer, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!?!

Malicious hosts infecting guests? No, surely not - say it isn't so! People only modify games to put in useful features like a console, IWNet bypass and aimbots/wallhacks... right?

sounds like a heap of s*** and just your average scare mongering to me, move on nothing but kiddies with a missguided cry here until we see more info

Valid point. If there's anything I'm more cynical about than P2P MP, it's heuristic-based Virus detection:

In order to aggravate detection and reduce size of the file it is packed with a runtime packer.

Oh, it MUST be a virus then. What's the heuristic - signature scan? Couldn't possibly be harmless binary data in %tmp%.

/me moves along...

Term is obviously part of a jewish conspiracy to protect MW2 ...

i see trojan warnings all the time, all false positives (i hope)

Dedicated Servers = FTW , P2P= Fail
