Can this be stickied for a while to make sure everyone who looked at the software sees it ?

What's name of soft?

Omaha equity (the plo version of NL Equilab) is being developed by Pokerstrategy.com

However their beta version was modified re-released and posted on 2p2 by a randomer. The reason for this is unknown, so people assumed he added some malware to it.

Mods please sticky this thread for a while, possible hacking attempt

If anyone downloaded Omaha Equilab (omaha equity calculator posted in SSPLO and HSPLO forums about a week ago) check your PC for malware... and it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to format and reinstall everything just to be sure.

If someone was naive enough to install that software on a computer they use to access their poker etc. accounts, now would be a good time for a little reality check and try to understand that it's an awful idea to install any unknown software from sources you don't know/trust.

It was called Omaha equilab.

Would it not be better to play on a Mac rather then pc? I play on a pc but was thinking of switching to Mac because of things like this and malware/viruses. Opinions on this would be appreciated.

Is http://propokertools.com/simulations software ok?

Yes. I periodically check for suspicious behavior on my servers, and have found nothing strange. I do not collect any information on my users other than the usual stuff for website statistics (Google Metrics). I do get the occasional robot trying to check for easy server passwords, but this is an attack on ProPokerTools, not its users - I do not have any valuable user data to speak of.

P.S. FWIW, the downloadable http://propokertools.com/odds_oracle comes with instructions on how to run in "paranoid mode" to prevent the program from stealing your data, tracking your habits, wiping your files, searching for passwords, etc. etc. Of course I don't do any of this stuff, but if you don't trust me for some reason, or if you think the software has been tampered with, there you are.
