Hello,

 

Today I changed the antivirus to Kasperky and got the following notification when launching WoT:

 

 

Did a search to see what pastebin is and the first result in google has the title "What is Pastebin and Why Do Hackers Love It?"

To quote: Pastebin is a website that allows users to share plain text through public posts called “pastes.”

 

Well, this doesn't look good. Can mods do this ?

I'm using Oldskool's mod pack.

 

Any ideas ?

It's blocking due to the incorrect cert, rather than pastebin itself. I'd hazard a guess that one of the mod components uses pastebin to hold some text. It doesn't give the full URL anywhere, does it?

You could, you know, try launching without the mods.

Is indicative of the quality of this forums that you were made mod. You reply doesn't disappoint.

No. It will be interesting to see what is pasted there.
