That is beyond amazing
Oh come now, Alam only intentionally breaks things half of the time.Hah.
Reminds me of another programmer I once had the... pleasure... of knowing.

Hey, I know what I doing, 63% of the time....
It was evil too! People ignored the warnings because apparently it was "safe". Thank god I haven't downloaded the game yet.http://www.sonicretro.org/2012/04/public-service-announcement-keylogger-cleaning-up-sonic-2-hd/
So yeah, your antivirus had every right to be upset.
All this project is good for at this point is the most epic drama comedy in quite a while. You couldn't do a worse job than LOst if you tried.
It's probably not "evil". From what I've gathered, the game was programmed in a way that allows it to record the user's keyboard input outside of the S2HD window. This is presumably due to incompetence on LOst's part. It's highly unlikely that he actually did this with malicious intent. Problem is: The code is obfuscated because of the whole DRM/paranoia issue, so nobody can look through the code and confirm that the program isn't "phoning home" anything. So on the off chance that LOst is a hacker, you're better off not downloading it.It was evil too! People ignored the warnings because apparently it was "safe". [...] I wonder why one of the devs would stick it in there. :/
At least with official Sonic games by Sonic Team, all you end up with is disappointment if you buy into the hype. Sonic 2 HD was bundled with the same software used to steal credit card information, and in all likelihood LOst actually broke the law here.
Is it just me, or does it seem kinda silly that everyone is blaming that LOst guy? At anytime the rest of the team could have said "Look, you've been gone for 3-4 months, or you haven't made enough progress, we're gonna have to kick you out". But they didn't they stuck through with him and now you have antiviruses ringing up a storm. It would've probably delayed this release even further, but it would come out on a lighter note.
