The copy protection of my game tries to connect to Internet?

Postby regine » Sat Jun 21, 2008 7:41 pm

I was making some improvements on the copy protection of my game(the copy protection was running)when suddenly my firewall(ZoneAlarm) sent me a message that the copy protection tries to connect ti the Internet. Why?

It almost sounds like a malicious program has attached itself to your program.

I already started my virus scanner and it didn't find any viruses. But you are right, many programs try to connect to the same IP in the last time but my game started doing this, the others after some days...

And you are sure it's your game trying to connect?
Not just another application trying to connect when you launch that game?

Maybe it's nother qpplication attaced with the same name.
Example

Game: Your game.exe
Malicious attachment: Your game.exe

I had the same problem, only it was searching for Social Security Numbers so I deleted it.
