I found the following spyware and cookies after installing Planescape. Since the only site i visited was the Planescape web site and this one, and nobody else recently on this computer, im not sure where these came from. It detected these on the computer, and not only that, someone is fradulently trying to steal my personal information off the computer, and even called me up with a \"you won lots of money\" bogus story. As these may or may not be related with you game, i am only posting here because i did not have these problems before installing your software. I traced the phone number, and it is bogus. Also, here is the spyware found on my system after i revceived various error problems associated installing your game. (IT MAY NOT BE RELATED TO THE GAME ITSELF, BUT SOMEONE MIGHT BE USING IT FOR BACK DOOR ENTRY INTO COMPUTERS). I know it\'s possible to place a MIRC in the background on a person\'s computer from technical information from a site I have read, without a person\'s knowledge:
The following is a listing of all the spyware i have detected on this computer:

As i have no cookies enabled, i have to assume these must of been put on my computer using the game, or someone nefariously placing them when playing the game....
Also, a program called User Fault Cilent tried to install on my computer, but my detection programs removed it before it could do any damage. Again, im not sure if these are related to the game Planescape, but i had these problems after i installed the game. It could be just coincedence.....
The other problem i am currently having is now i cannot connect to the server without problems which may or may not be related to the spyware/hack programs i found on the computer...
Since this is all circumstance evidence, you must make your own judgement. I am not critisizing or berating the Planescape at all. In fact, i like the game very much. If the error messages i received on my computer when trying to play your game had not warned me about these hacks, i would of never known they were there.
