SnapperOne 0 Posted March 20, 2004 I've recently begun playing my first on-line game, "Tank Mania". While the game is a lot of fun, and I have Norton's AV, SpySweeper, and SpyBot active at all times, I've begun wondering what types of security problems (trojans, viruses, hacker issues, etc...) I am leaving my system open to. Is the risk high, medium, low...? While this PC isn't mission critical, I would hate to have to rebuild the data on it, or the data on the PC it is connected to via a LAN. I am also curious about how this type of game works. Since I haven't actively downloaded the game onto my hard drive, how does the back & forth information (video, sound, mouse movements, etc) work between my PC and the server work?
