Hey guys.
I came to this forum and registered an account to tell you that it looks like someone is advertising and distributing an alternative download for AssaultCube and their version has probably been modified to contain malware.
This is a cap from the Facebook ad http://i.imgur.com/iuhlp.png The site url is "assault-cube dot com"
Right now, there download link on their front page refers to a file on sourceforge, but earlier today it was something like www.licensingsomething.com/234234/ (installer exe)
Right now there is also an different download url on their News page that goes to
http://72.52.143.151/~facebook/assaultcube/ AssaultCube-Installer dot exe
If these guys are trying to pull a scam, that version might still be malware.
Then again, maybe they are legit. ?? Maybe they are spending time and money advertising and distributing AC out of their love for the game (as well as mis-advertising DarkOrbit as CounterStrike for some reason...).
I would strongly recommend that you guys watch that site and check their exes. AC is awesome and it would suck for it to be abused as a malware vector.
