PSA: Not april fools joke

I just wanted to let everyone in the community know about a potential issue. Not sure if directly tied to devs or not but: My PC performance was acting up severely, almost made me upgrade my pc Looking into it discovered the issue related to two pieces of spyware/adware on my pc, one called crusader and one called my.games Both looked legit at first but were tied to world of tanks registry files (which i have not played in months and do not have installed) and were the source of my performance issues. I discovered that one of these (my.games) was acting as a keylogger sending my clipboard as a text file to a random .ru (russian) email address every 30 seconds. The other one was redirecting my browser searches to targeted ads but in theory could also have been used to ensure I only see or don't see certain types of content.

This is a major security issue and as such I will never be playing this game again or supporting the devs in any way shape or form, in case they were involved, I thought you should know.
