If Steam now blocks the use of the F1 key, then how about remaking the trainers to use a different activation key instead?
its way more complicated than that.. lol

Not at all a flame against anyone, but sometimes I see a post and think, man, people really don't get how much effort goes into creating and maintaining trainers. Thank you, all CH staff, Caliber especially but everyone on board for all your extraordinary work.
If this were another kind of business, say a grocery store, it'd be akin to the government putting a blanket ban on the sale of groceries and then setting up their own grocery chains. A classic, Econ 101 monopoly, plus unilateral action made possible by effectively state-level force. So you guys are now in the position of having to get around THAT in addition to making trainers, and with Steam as the default distribution platform...
You know, I've been recovering from spine surgery and so I'm on awful cell phone internet. I can't download games. So I actually did buy mine in the store - well, on-disc, from Amazon. That way I could go ahead and install them, easy peasy, and they'd just activate and do their thing.
And of course they registered on __________. Before today, that was no big deal at all in my book. After today, I'll want to spit every time I activate a product on Steam. Makes me glad that two of the games I bought activated on Origin and on uPlay. They don't want unrestricted access to my system. Ubisoft took an outside strong-arm approach but backed off. Now Steam's doing something much more insidious. GRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I am also very angry at the culpable individuals who decided to use single player cheats in multiplayer games. That's unethical as can be and whoever you are out there you'll ruin it for all of us. Nice going.
Good Job, PWizard. Keeping on top of things. BTW, Avast antivirus at one time was deleting steam games speaking of steam. I just started using avast free version again and it works fine with steam and cheathappens trainers.

It wouldn't surprise me if some AV's started detecting STEAM as a virus as they are now injecting their code into Windows system files like kernel32.dll just like a real virus or rootkit might do.
