As I live in the 21st century I got a paid quality protection on my computer and it's telling me the Reddit stuff is safe.

(and god knows I do extensive checks before using ANY .exe)
I just checked those files with Malwarebytes&SaS and both reported no issues.

e: currently running Eset's Online-scanner..
e2: Eset also found nothing(except few already known PuP's in my storage HDD)

Scanned the entire thing, nothing came up for me.
Hmm, this got me thinking, what if someone really managed to get a keylogger into the new tree and then gets a few thousand PoE passwords and then clears all items that has some value from those accounts?

What can GGG and you do?
Can they track and restore those items or is it just a "don't install keyloggers onto your PC" thing?

Probably the second part as they're not responsible for you taking adequate steps to protect yourself.
third party sites are not supported or run by GGG.

if we get compromised via a third party tool I would expect GGG to tell us to piss off.

With autohotkey and all the various 3rd party sites sudo acknowledged as OK to run and use, this is bound to happen sooner or later. It'll be mayhem.

Not true. it is possible to adapt to all aspects of the game, be it trading, finding your MTX, or alt-f4, without 3rd party tools. It's just that the quality of life and the massive advantage they provide make being compromised worth the risk.

Forgot where I got it, probably reddit.
If you are unsure, especiially with programs like procurement, scan it first.

You might actually have a keylogger in yours, or it's a false positive. Scan it anyway.
