Be Careful What Addons And Hacks You Download

While some online games allow for third-party software to be “added on” to improve your enjoyment of the game, some games do not. RuneScape, for example, has no legitimate addons which do not violate the Terms of Service you agreed upon when signing up, and very often any addons you’ll download are actually keyloggers that enable someone else to steal your account entirely.
Games like World of Warcraft, however, have a thriving “UI Mod/Addons” community and many advanced users download and install .LUA scripts which work with WoW to change launch bars, introduce in-game schedulers, track information while gaming, etc. In this case, the general rule is this:
If the Addon you’re downloading contains an executable file (in the form of a .bat file or a .exe or .com file), be very careful about running it. Executable files can easily contain keyloggers specifically added to steal your account information.
