I just read a post about a player's system was accessed while playing some time ago. My questions is: Is our system's safe from hackers while granting Aces High full access, with no anti-virus or other safe guards while on the server. This has my full attention, while we let this Server access our firewalls at any given time.. What kinda of security is on the server to stop, or even warn me of such an access on my system. I know a couple of times I have logged, went to shut down my system and got a message the it would affect other users that are logged on. Kind of has me curios of the security of the Server.

you can run trip wire . I do not think it will consume that much to run in the backround

Your kidding right?

Now THAT is creepy!!! Can we get a clarification please?
With all the sneaky garbage on the internet these days, I
really don't think HTC wants a rumor like that flyin around..
That would SURELY drive me away from this game...

Show the post before spewing this total BS here. Considering your squad's history in this game, I wouldn't believe a single thing you have to say.

Please post the thread which you speak of....

Ok...so you're afraid your system is going to get hacked through the port this game uses.... :uhoh
If you answer yes to the following questions:
Do you have any type of file sharing enabled on your computer, especially with P2P file sharing programs?
Are you using AIM, IRC, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger?
Is the "guest" account still enabled on your computer?
Is the "help assistant" account still enabled on your computer?
Is the default "administrator" account not password protected with a minimum 16 character alpha numeric password?
Are there any user accounts that you created on your system that are not password protected?
Are you using the default "administrator" account as your own?
Do you connect your computer directly to the modem instead of using a router?
Have you been on any websites that installed some sort of malware on your computer?
Do you frequently find trojan files on your system when doing spyware/virus scans?
Do you have remote desktop enabled?
The possibility of someone accessing your system through the port a game uses for connectivity is slim but if the answer is yes to any of those questions then the possibility of your someone accessing your system is higher than average.
I would tell you to just cut the cable that connects your computer to your internet connection but I'm sure you get the idea of what not to do and what you can do to close most of the doors for accessing your computer remotely.

Let HTC deal with this question guys. Eagle knows he could have sent skuzzy an e-mail and gotten an answer.

By simply granting AH full access , there is no way anything bad can happen to your system.

Egohart.......the instructions are on the heel of the boot...... :rofl

just add trip wire if you are concerned .....
The only safe computer is one that is buried 30 feet , not plugged in and shot through with a 357mag
other than that "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE"

I've yet to see anything like that in 8+ years.

Thx for the clarification HT, :salute

if you have more then one profile on a machine, IE eagle and johny, and you run defrag in johny's profile, then go back to your profile and shut down you would get that message.
also of another computer on your network, has a drive mapped to a file or folder on your computer and you shut it down, that would also give you that error.
Its pretty much an innocuous error. The way to tell is to do a alt-cntl-del and see what users are connected to you. if you know them, not a problem. if you don't know them, now you got a problem. most hackers will hack your system without your knowledge anyway. that's the idea of hacking.
I wouldn't worry about it, Aces High is very safe and has all the safe guards in place. its just a goofy message from windows.
just a IT perspective on the problem.
PS.--when you see "SYSTEM: You have been killed by Jeager1", its not me hacking your system! :)

Thanks captain, that makes more since, only thing this is; this is a new system and no other users, or lanes. I read that post yesterday on the net, I know that I have been on AH for a few years and never had a problem. I just wanted to know, I sent emails to hitech... no response as of yet. So I posted the post to find out from you experts out there. NEVER SAY ' It's impossible with today's technology NB... your not as smart as you pertray to be sometimes.

That's it Mr. Smart Guy! Just because Eaglehart deleted your sound pack, I am now going to download and install your soundpack. So take that!

As much as it disgusts (excuse me while I vomit) me to find myself in agreement with Ack-Ack, I too shall download Ranger's sound pack.
Back to the OP's original (poorly worded & badly mis-spelled) post: I hope you are satisfied with the answers you were provided.
