New games at intercasino and malware warning.

<div class="bbWrapper">When you start up Intercasino it will start downloading all the new games at intercasino. There are several new very interesting slots and 10/50/100 hand VP (still the same VP variants and paytables). <br /> <br /> However, the reason for my post is that right after the installation, Firefox had an extension ready for install. Since Firefox is kind enough to ask if I want all sorts of crap installed (compared to IE that just does it) I of course denied. I had to manually delete it from the extension folder or firefox would keep asking if I wanted to install this unknown crap every time I opened the browser.<br /> <br /> The folder name was: (XXX is my username on XP, yours will be different)<br /> file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/XXX/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/crl1q8eb.default/extensions/wagerlogic.xpi<br /> <br /> Actually the file is named wagerlogic.xpi which is a kind of giveaway that it was the intercasino upgrade that tried to install it.<br /> <br /> It is probably not harmfull in any way, but I did not install it to test it and I do not intend to do it. Can anyone contribute with some information about this or similar experience?<br /> <br /> I believe it is obvious that I do not approve of this way of forcing browser extensions on the players. I am still not sure I actually understood all this correct since I would not expect this from Intercasino.<br /> <br /> Zoozie</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Very interesting. Maybe I will try playing for free (Can&#039;t play for real <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/frown.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Frown :(" data-shortname=":(" /> ) and see if it does the same thing. I&#039;ll give it a run and see what I can come up with..<br /> <br /> <br /> be back.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Sounds like they are trying to add a button to Firefox that them and other casinos are doing for IE already....of course without asking, too.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Yep - I am checking it out to see exactly what information they are transferring back and forth. Hope I have something by tomorrow.<br /> <br /> I had to play real-mode to get those new games, though. Good thing my account isn&#039;t locked.</div>

You&#039;re always spot-on with your math and you give good reviews on the artistic stuff too.<br /> <br /> I think most of the VP paytables are the same, but I know for sure that the Joker Poker table has been increased in our favour. I&#039;m not sure how much in percentage terms, but it has been upped.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Looks as though they have been hit by the US ban.<br /> <br /> They are starting to spam the computers.

I took apart the code to see if anything else were going on under the hood and couldn&#039;t find anything bad about it. I think it is, of course, bad form for them to insert a BHO at all.... But at least it isn&#039;t spying on us.</div>

If that&#039;s the case then just find the culprit by going through the process list.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">It recreates the shortcuts everytime the software is started. I don&#039;t personally want them on any of these places and I hate the fact that Intercasino seems fit to place these on my puter without consent. <br /> <br /> Please fix it Intercasino.<br /> <br /> <br /> <blockquote data-attributes="" data-quote="winbig" data-source="post: 129115" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/forums/goto/post?id=129115" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-129115">winbig said:</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> You mean when you start the casino, it will recreate the shortcuts, or it does it automatically after you delete it? </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">is it because you don&#039;t want your wife/anyone to see it on your system? i also don&#039;t like little icons everywhere, just wondering if you feel your privacy is violated by the icon-spawning.<br /> <br /> i feel the same about when boss/cryptos snailmail a PIN code, or also random mailers that you didn&#039;t ask for. if someone saw that in the mail and they disapproved of you gambling, could be fireworks!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Ok. This is getting really annoying.....<br /> <br /> I d personally like feedback from Ryan.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi umberto and forum members,<br /> <br /> The InterCasino buttons are from InterCasino. They are there for easier access to our sites and software but are not Malware or Spyware applications. I will let you know the full process of how to hide / delete them from your destop and will post this on this thread very soon (hopefully by tomorrow or Saturday).<br /> <br /> Apologies to all members who are finding it an inconvenience, and to those that have sent us positive feedback, I&#039;m glad that you find this tool a more convenient way to access InterCasino.<br /> <br /> Regards<br /> Ryan</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">This is very disappointing coming from a shop like Intercasino. <br /> <br /> The latest software is aggravating - I tried deleting the XPI extension from the Intercasino folder so it wouldn&#039;t try to install itself every time I launched Firefox, but the next time I started the casino, it automatically redownloaded the XPI. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/mad.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":mad:" title="Mad :mad:" data-shortname=":mad:" /> <br /> <br /> IMO, there&#039;s no excuse for this roguish behavior. You&#039;re pushing something that users don&#039;t want.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I use opera and never get offered any of this crap, buttons and the like..... I just thought i&#039;d check Ie and wadda ya know, 32red (poker), doyles room, ladbrokes, UB and Mansion have all installed button without my knowledge......<br /> <br /> No biggie really but it would have been nice to be asked.<br /> <br /> I can appreciate the dillema faced by vendors when trying to balance the whole ease of use of a particular program, making it easily accessible at the same time as keeping security tight and not invading our privacy.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I can&#039;t see the accessibility improvement by adding all these buttons and toolbars. I guess players who wanted to play at intercasino had no difficulties to locate the relevant shortcuts on their system in the past.<br /> <br /> The behaviour of this &quot;feature&quot; is intrusive and annoying (=malware), especially with firefox and the quick launch bar. The sole purpose of the feature is to support &quot;impulsive buying&quot;.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I really would like to see one of the positive responses to the new buttons. &quot;HI, was just dropping by to say thanks for the buttons that are automatically placed all over my computer.

Every single casino I&#039;ve played at (which is alot) installs a button on the IE toolbar ONLY after you&#039;ve agreed to it during the install; and if you delete it after that, you won&#039;t see it again. I think it&#039;s outrageous for the button to be reinstalled everytime you start the casino.</div>
