no. I downloaded the client like 2days ago, , ran a virus scan before: nothing, and i ran another virus scan after i downloaded it and i found: a trojan horse.
Well I use powerbot and I deem it as safe. It's like or dislike the product just like anything. I would also not compare or defend on ban rate because people just come up with figures out of their as and no data to back up.
But as anything I don't know why people say is it safe or anything related with the word "safe" when it comes to botting.... It's mind bottling!
