This is utterly stupid. Thanks to godness that I don't have a single Ubi game with Uplay installed right now

What that sais is that it would have installed a plugin for your browser. You can disable it if you so please. There are instruction on that page on how to do it.

Personally, on my computer, it didn't install any plugins at all so I guess I'm not affected.

Thanks fellas. The plug-ins were there. I disabled them. Hopefully has no effect on gameplay or connection.


gaaahh!!! Why do we have to put that stupid code in just to post. I fail to see difference in caps and smalls for many letters.

I disabled them.

" all you need to remove to protect yourself "

I know you disabled it and in the most situations it will do the trick.
But the DEV-il never sleeps! ;-)

Remove IT!

I found the plugins installed in Firefox AND Thunderbird somehow. This cloak-and-dagger stuff makes it feel like spyware. WHY NOT JUST TELL US what you are doing and why? I'm happy to cooperate to protect your IP, but don't interrupt my game experience, don't compromise my system, and for God's sake TELL ME what you're doing. There's no excuse to have anything running on my system at any times other than when the game or uPlay itself is running, and there is absolutely no reason to install a plugin for THUNDERBIRD. You're really tempting me to uninstall the game and never play it again. I'm a huge fan of the series and enjoy H6 itself too, but you are absolutely destroying my trust and game experience with all of this "anti-piracy" garbage.

This thread should be a sticky.

It should be fixed now, see http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...4-Security-fix
