Default Re: calculatemtexas software a virus???

It really is a trojan - use www.calculatem.com instead, if you must.

I have actually wondered about that program (texascalulatem) as well. I have absolutely no reason to suspect any foul play but it DOES dial home with your IP address and software key for anitpiracy reasons (thats what they say) -after I fire it up, my software firewall warns me that it wants access to the net. If you don't let it, it won't work.

I stopped using this software quite a while ago but I have always thought that it was a serious security breach to have a program like this (that reads your hole cards) running while freely accessing the net while you play. No thanks.

who knows maybe I'm just paranoid but it doesn't seem worth the risk.
