What is Warden? And what does it do?

#1 - March 16, 2012, 6:44 p.m.

Ideally, I'd like a Blue Poster to respond as well as other players.

I've come across some disturbing articles about what this program does, and I'd like some clarification about the FULL EXTENT and BREADTH of what the program scans and reports.

Thanks.

Ha. I posted this thread in Technical Support. It got redirected to General. And now it got redirected back to TS.

Well, I certainly didn't expect this thread to flourish like it did. I think just about every angle has been covered about this topic.

Zenithysis, I don't want to appear to be brushing off the question, but it is a highly sensitive one. As you can imagine, and has been stated earlier in this thread, I can't discuss the workings of Warden in any way. I can only assure you that we take your privacy seriously. If you wish to discuss this further, please use the link I posted earlier. Thank you for your understanding.
