If Xingcode3 was added to AVG Antivirus as trusted because of that "fatal error" not letting the game to open which seems weird to happen all of a sudden then now Xingcode3 can do whatever it wants without AVG caring because it is listed as trusted?
That's the risk you take when adding anything to an exceptions list. The fatal error popping up now is because of updates to AVG/Avast/etc that have started flagging Xigncode3 as a virus again (and in my opinion, correctly flagging it as such). Unfortunately, there's nothing you can really do about it other than add to the list of people who want EME to remove Xigncode3 for the plethora of issues it causes and can cause in the future.
And it's illegal in Europe due to failing GDPR standards...
It's not. Multiple EU publishers still use it right now (see BDO and BnS in EU). Some have suggested that there may be additional laws in Germany that are specific to there, but it's not GDPR, anyway.
NA also uses IESnare, which at least in the UK has been ruled in violation of the Data Proection Act by the ICO.
can happen with hurricane or earthquake
but people ask for another server merge
Is Xingcode3 a keylogger or better said does it scan/save data from the computer or the browser history and/or usernames/passwords used on various websites? I am asking because i have Tera installed on one of the computers from my workplace which is actually a family business and sometimes i am playing when nothing really happens but the issue is that the computer is being used by several members from our family and for example i am now worried that my sister will get really angry if she will find out that there is actually a spyware(?) program installed and all her activity might be compromised including places visited and usernames/passwords ( not only that she is a laywer and she works with private clients but she also likes to buy a lot of stuff from amazon as example ).
So far, after reading so much stuff.. i have learned that Xingcode3 only scans files while the game is active and is only looking for certain things so personal data is out of the question.. But i can never trust a program which my antivirus considers a threat and sadly i have to give it a white flag to let it work meaning that Xingcode3 can do pretty much what it wants...
I will advise this. Do not run an online game on a computer used for work. Period. You risk either hardware failure, software failure, or hacks. Xigncode would be the least of your problems in such a scenario. If able, keep a computer set solely for work and nothing else. No Facebook, no Amazon. Just work. Have it clamped at max security and if you need to browse for something with it, stick with all safe browsing practices. But that's my advise based on witnessed experience.
That, plus auto-login into a standard user on top of all that. No administrator privileges. Install stuff on another account and let the main one be standard so that if it happens that you forget some good practices and anything tries to install you can see a prompt at least. One added layer there isn't an issue.
They'll remove it once Tera NA is picked up by a different publisher.
