walkingCat May 2, 2013 Share walkingCat Member May 2, 2013 I had ESEA client for a very short while. Back then I played on my old laptop and I really felt that system runs much worse. So I uninstalled it almost immediately. For those who has strong system it might not be even noticible. I believe GC can step in.

turnbullTeRRoR May 2, 2013 Share turnbullTeRRoR GC Alumni May 2, 2013 Basically ESEA was selling your CPU / to the world for usage if the client was left on and you weren't actually using it. Earning Bitcoins / which were being redeemed for cash... I think that sums it up. It was caught because Anti virus software started alerting users it was male-ware ... which it turns out it was... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
