WARNING:Netmarble installs spyware

[r_rosha_rr]

I downloaded Arcane Saga and made an account with Netmarble. To play the game you have to link the game to your Netmarble account, but when you do so it installs ad.yieldmanager, a nasty piece of spyware. Just so you know.

Guess that explains why the game will only launch if Steam is run under administrator.

Good going Steam, they're using your launcher to install spyware. =\

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check my computer now.

Lovely to know. Thanks

You're welcome. I'd like to know what Steam thinks of this.

Where is the actual site to download this game?

thx warning

What the hell you guys talking about? There's no spyware installed, and Netmarble is part of CJ Games Global Corp. so it's not a 'made up' company.
Of course after such a claim of spyware and fraudulant software, I went and checked everything on my PC with Norton 360 Premier Edition and other spyware detecting tools and found NOTHING. I scanned the files associated to the game and found NOTHING.
Then, I went online to read up on Netmarble and it's parent company.

It's just another game launching service like Steam, Origin, Uplay, NCsoft.
Other games Netmarble has:
Uncharted Waters Online
District 187

We just didn't hear much about them since they are mostly an asian gaming market company as their website and CJ Games Global Corp. website will show you.
Just check facts before putting up false information that could make people worried about nothing.

The spyware is called ad.yieldmanager (look it up) and it was detected by my Norton Anti-virus.
To play Arcane Saga (which you can download via Steam) you need a Netmarble account.
You then have to link the game to your account.
When I started to link them Netmarble tried to install the spyware and I stopped the linking process.
I can't be more plain than this.
Good luck.

if you basiclly think about it maybe valve (creators of steam) didnt know, so you basiclly cant fully blame them for a game that which another company entered in, so aim that "good going steam" to netmarble.
also if i do sound mad in this comment im sorry and have a wonderful day.
