Hi there mobsters, I recently downloaded and opened an account on everest poker and after a couple days my computer starting acting funny doing wierd things,my anti-virus and spyware was just going nuts with all these warnnings of access attemps by wierd sources and,just wierd anway I ran systems check and had some virues and spyware removed and computer was clean so I thought after a while I played everest again and whamoooooo it started again after finishing my night of poker play I ran the anti-viruses again and spyware and found same viruses and spyware on my computer, so today I thought I would do a deep system scan and whamoooo there it was after scanning was done and details were shown.........it showed that everything was coming from 1 source the everest poker software.....I then uninstalled the soft ware and emailed there support and didnt get a response yet........beware the spyware and virues that were there werent easy to find there hidden deep and copy cat other soft ware......this is not a lie I had nothing against the site untell today and the harm there soft ware did to my computer..............if this has happened to you let me and others know....here...........................................
I don´t think that you got it from the everest poker site, because if you got a virus while download the software on there site, then ALL the otheres people how downloaded the same file have got the virus. securety is just to high to let a virus pas on to the software...

My security stuff always flags everest, but never had any computer problems and dont think its anything to wrorry about, and if any problems do come of it I know who is going to foot the bill :}
I got the same as B1foot, my security also flags everest and says that certain types of cookies and stuff are going to be downloaded, but I just cancel it and during my play and after it, I never have any probs with it.
i´ve got Kaspersky anti virus and i even cant download everest untill i close down the anti virus programm! i´ve heared about sites which use trojans and spywares to know what software u are using while you play.because some people use Skype or msn and thats cheating! i dont know is it legal or not, but i think they should write it anywhere down if they use a spyware! one thing we all have to agree: THEY USING SOME KIND OF SOFTWARE, WHICH IS NOT USED FOR THE POKER TABLES!!!!! otherways it would not be a RISK SOFTWARE for our anti virus programms. sorry for my bad english
like titan poker... there always my anti virus pops up and tell me a trojan is found at titanpoker.exe. but i dont think one have to worry. imagine when there will be found any problems CAUSE of the poker program the user would tell it in every forum he knows... and in a short time noonen would ever play there anymore...
i guess they are very careful what files they give while downloading.
