I was going to start a thread about this but saw yours just as I was about to post. I read several articles about Win32/Spy.Odlanor spyware today. It seems that yes that players on Fulltilt and pokerstars who have computers that have been infected by the spyware through downloads of Poker related Apps. are being targeted and the spyware sends screenshots of played hands to the scammers which they use to gain an advantage vs those players. Another good reason to have strong anti-virus and malware protection on your Windows based computer.

Do you get to see their cards face up every single hand they played? Well with the spyware you do.

The main danger comes from cracked (free) poker software from pirate-sites, but i don´t use any tools and i also think, as a tourney player there is also not much danger (the enemy cannot sit down at your mtt table).

Why people used cracked software on the same PC they play poker with is hard to fathom..

I'm surprised this thread hasn't had way more responses......because some people swear by these sites so much (and yes I know the cheating is not been done by the site)............. however a lot of skeptical (improbable) stuff happens on there to say the least............. this is why although I enjoy playing online poker, I can never truly trust it.

Probably how the original poster titled the thread is the reason for the lack of activity.

Let them come after me, I don't care, if they want to waste their time spying on me let them try, they can try and take the few hundred dollars I have on sites, I'm sure there are bigger fish that they are chasing, why would they bother with people with less than 100K in their accounts, wouldn't they go for the big money if their spyware was so great.

Paranoia over nothing imho for the common man.

My comment meant that the title "Odlanor spyware" does not say anything that would get interest that is all. Something like "New spyware poker cheat" might of drawn more attention to the thread. Someone asked why there was not more post and I gave my opinion nothing more. :eek: :cool: :D

In retrospect I think the title is just fine because as people become more familiar with the name Odlanor this title is exactly what they would look for if they had anything to post about it. At any rate I meant no offense.

wow if that is true you have to be very careful and we have perhaps unknowingly infected machines.
It is also a total lack of respect for the legal players, you should arrest those who do these things can not be cheated so may good players
