I remember telling people epicbot was a virus and i showed them my virus scan and they said: STFU paranoid kid. Ur AV is wrong. trololo they probably all got hacked
Everyone here is in denial
^this
Search the keyword "epicbot" and you'll find atleast 20 posts with noobs saying "I've been using for 6 hours to 4 days and I haven't been hacked yet! Haha its totally safe!" No! It means they have too many accounts to steal banks from and haven't gotten to you yet! Stupid noobs!
We need a *face-keyboard* smiley!
I'll be completely honest. I've been using Epicbot, and Simba. Epicbot still hasn't stolen my account. It's an OK account. 30m on it... level 70 range pure.. nothing special..
but, still hasn't been taken.. Just saying, don't download all of the extra shit that somes with it, because they ARE viruses.
I haven't paid much attention to any of this at all, but from what I've gathered the supporters stance is mainly "hey, it doesn't install this known malware/adware to your computer unless you accept it hurr durr". The bot trying to install anything like that at all instantly makes me suspicious as fudge about it. Not to mention hearing about lots of Epicbot/Rarebot users suddenly starting to get hacked (apparently mostly by chinese people) all the time.
Now of course there's tons of people saying "well, i havent been hacked! (yet)", but if I was some greedy butthole stealing the info of tons of accounts, I would probably empty them at a slow pace at first, so the majority of users will just assume it's the individuals fault, and they will say things like "Hey, I haven't had any trouble! This is legit! (for now at least)".
I heard Jagex is releasing another nuke "soon" (scheduled this month or next?), too. Whenever that happens I highly suggest getting rid of anything related to EB and any bots like it and instantly changing all passes. If Jagex does a good job the admins might just think "fudge this poopoo, lets just clean as many accs as we can and kill this project, so we can run with the money.". Wouldn't even be surprising in todays RS.
That says it
laughing my head off as i read this. honestly its not a virus. want proof? extract the so called malicious virus download the real virus that will screw your computer and compare the two by scanning with the trusted malware bytes or avast. dont post about things you dont know just to hate on an injection bot, and by the way i can copy and paste too.
so i went ahead and checked the old spy falcon website. guess what? their gone... what? is it possible yes, is spyfalcon still around yes, now here is the tricky crap spy falcon has nothing to do with epic bot, therefore epic bot wouldn't touch spy falcon. spy falcon only does spy falcon it doesn't help others i hope you get the jest of things this is also copy and pasted.

Epicbot isn't a virus, and I pity those poor fools with foil tophats who think it is.
Epicbot has a two part profit mechanism:
- Users who buy Pro scripts.
- Advert powered installer.
While it sucks that they have whored their bot installer out to these rogue software makers, it does not mean that the payload software is malicious. There are MANY freeware programs out there that are totally benign and accomplish much needed tasks, but have installers that try to give you garbage toolbars, hijack your searches, or worse. It's part of the web today, get used to it and be smart when installing things, always say no to the extra 'offers'. Common sense.
I have 6 accounts I run using epicbot, and I have for a long time. Not "lolz 6 hours no ban and account isnt hacked", but countless hours, a purple phat, and almost a bil in cash between the 6. If there was hacking going on, I'd have been hacked by now.
Here's the kicker: Kids that bot, as a general rule, have a tendency to download anything if it promises to do what they want. So add that to the fact that they're too slow to understand how an advert installer works, and boom; you have someone who downloads Epicbot, and 6 other things in about an hour. One of those other things is infected and steals their stuff. GG. They then cry to forums:...but anyone with a brain knows exactly how they got infected.omg giuse, epicbot stole my acct infos and all my gold is gone and my character naked. no, id never download any keyloggers pretending to be gold h4x lolz, plz gief gold im broked. anyone kno were i can download a gold h4x (that's infested with spyware so I can lose my account again?)
I'm sorry to those of you who have fallen prey to account thieves. If it makes you feel better, those people have a lot of practice...
^^ thank god someone has some understanding.
i got a virusscanner but it didnt say anyting to me
Meep!
When I downloaded epicbot, I did a full uninstallation of adware programs. After doing so I found this thread, looked in my temp folder and found no ~nsu.temp and did a full AV sweep with BitDefender and found nothing.
ok just to clear this mess up. the adds is how they make money. if you download the spam its ur stupidity. do not post about ones stupidity and trying to say epic bot is infected with spy falcon, just stop yourself.
ignorance leads to stupidity, stupidity leads to war.
Yes because the extra installation crap has anything to do with wanting rsgp? That's some crappy toolbar makers goal? I think not. Who wants to hack your account and take your gold? The person that added a virus to epic/rs/anythingelse bot if they aren't open source they are a virus. Plain and simple. Why would someone want to hide their source from their users? Because it has a virus in it!!!
"Oh I've been using it on accounts with 1b+ and maxed stats and I haven't been hacked ftw!" Noo!!! THEY JUST HAVENT GOTTEN TO YOUR ACCOUNT YET! Come on! Quit saying your antivirus didn't find anything so its clean. There are SOOO many viruses that can't be detected. Quit being ignorant little brats and accept the fact that they are all viruses.
