NCSoft to Roll Out Hackable Anti-Hack Software

Greyzone writes "NCSoft is preparing to use a security product to protect the Lineage II game process from user hacks while running on a user PC. Unfortunately, this product has serious flaws of its own. Securityfocus.com explains the serious flaws and the possible hacks that can be used against user PCs that have installed this software." From the article "It is true that even with this vulnerability the user must still be tricked into running a malicious application that exploits it. However, in South Korea, where the Gameguard service is widely used, net cafes have become part of the social fabric. These machines are ripe fruit for damage."

Hi I played the game before and it seems the issues regarding the security program has just got to a point that I quit it altogether. Though it was a nice game in my opinion and something that I began to get addicted to unfortunately.
