    That's so funny that you say that. I never play any other software except RTG so I have never had any other casino software on my computer. When I felt that RTG was getting tight and I could not come out in the positive a few months ago I was told to try MG Viper software as it is just as fast as RTG. So I decided I would try it and for the first time ever a MG casino was downloaded to my computer. Immediately after I had major problems with Trojan Horses, Spyware and other Adware messing up my system. When I posted it here I was told by many members that there is no way it came from the MG casino and that I should trace my steps and figure out where it came from. The funny thing is I know that it came from the MG download and I am 100% positive that it came from there. It was not merely a coincidence. I even had people telling me that I am unlucky that it happens to me, or that I must of went to some other site that gave me the spyware. But now I have you posting the exact same thing. MG casinos do install spyware.

    I play at a lot more MG casinos than RTG ones but thankfully I haven't got any trojan so far. Spywares you get all the time just by serving the web. There is nothing surprising about spywares. Just buy/download one of the blockers/removers.

    The fact that you got a trojan the first time you downloaded a MG software is sort of ridiculous and somewhat unbelievable. You have to have pretty bad luck for that to happen.

    Listen,

    I don't lie and make things up just for the hell of it. I have nothing against MG, I have no interest in trying to divert players from any MG casinos. It's not rediculous or unbelievable because that is what happened. I have never had any other software on my computer other than RTG, I don't download anything to my computer except RTG casinos no other apps. no utilities nothing but now I have downloaded spyware cleaner software. I have never had a trojan horse on my computer since I have been online for the first time back in 1995. The first time I download anything other than an RTG casino namely an MG casino and immediately I get spyware and trojan horses on the computer. You are going to sit there and say that it is unbelievable and rediculous? You are rediculous for making that comment.

    I might be, in your opinion, ridiculous, but never rediculous!

    I had ladbrokes on my pc until recently and evrytime I ran a spyware remover it deleted some of its program files and it would not load up again afterwoods. Had to put ladbrokes in the "ignore during search" bit to stop this happening.

    Webroot spysweeper also commented that "a host of spyware/adware piggybacks on this software"
    aka thatsBAD

    Its nonsense that you suddenly got trojans and spyware as soon as you loaded one MG casino. More likey you got it from the affiliate's site that directed you to the casino. There are many spyware definitions that mistakenly categorize some of the casino code as spyware (and its not just MG, its also Playtech). It also categorizes cookies from casino sites as spyware as well. What the anti-spyware program is telling you can not always be accepted verbatim. Its not like anti-virus s/w that is black or white, there's alot of grey areas and misinformation in these anti-spyware programs.

    I keep my computer locked down with firewall, antivirus and multiple anti-spyware programs, and have NEVER been alerted to spyware or trojans when downloading & installing an MG casino. And I've been running it that way for more than a year now. To be fully protected you need all 3 things, even if you're behind a router/firewall. So far, the best combo I've found for compatibility and performance/detection is ZoneAlarm Pro, Norton Antivirus, and SpySweeper by Webroot. Install them in the reverse order and run scans after each install until you computer is spotless and then you should be virtually problem free from that point on.

    How the hell is it nosense when that is exactly what happened? How the F would you know? Never any trojans or spyware on my computer, in 9 years of being on the internet. Immediately after I installed the MG casino my homepage in ie was changed I was getting popus constantly, not days or hours after installing it, immediately after. I then ran all the programs that were advised and it found Spyware and Trojan horses. I cleaned my computer and then went back to Belle Rock and downloaded the software again to do a test. As soon as it was fully installed the program Browser Hijack Blaster popped up and said that my homepage had been changed once again and asked if I wanted to switch it back. Then Antivir popped up and said that a file called Spy2 or something like that was found, and classified it as a trojan horse and asked what I wanted to do with it, so I deleted it. I then ran the spyware program again and it found new spyware installed so I removed it and immunized my system. You have got to be mentally ill to still try and sit there and say that it is coincidence. Oh and just to add it was not an affiliate page, i followed no links from anywhere I typed in the address directly. The first time it happened I was told that I entered the wrong address and that it was an affiliate link in disguise using a similar URL so when I cleaned my computer and then went to download and install again as a test it was from the real address posted by Casinomeister on this site and it was again not a link but I typed it in the browser (the official website). Now what do you have to say? You can't say anything. 1. All spyware was a result of the MG software 100% 2. It was not from an affiliate link 3. I have not had any warnings from any of the programs on my computer since I reformatted and re installed only RTG's, nothing else

    Its funny how a trin can easily become off Topic. It started out with a list of Trust RTG casinos. Went to Spyware, and now a bunch of cursing. LMBAO
