yeah I went through some posts was about to install it and then read a few, from different people saying that when they ran a scan on it, it said it contained a trojan. Like you, I don't know, is 2nd hand info, just wanted to pass it on in case its true. Mind you, lots of people use it and seem fine.
i just saved the zip, scanned that with my virus checker (Computer Associates, eTrust) and it looked fine. Then I unzipped to another folder, scanned that again and looked fine.
Might try using that - does it improve speed much ?

Does it improve the game speed much?
It can improve the game speed immensely as you have control over how fast you want it to work.
As for the trojan reports, my belief is that this is happening as a trojan is a program which alters settings and such likeon your computer.
As this is also what CM Speeder is doing then I'm guessing thats why it doesn't get on with anitvirus programs.
How do you manage to see what is happening when it runs so fast?
I have a 1.5 GB processor laptop and run all matches on key highlights with the highlight speed slider midway between centre and the fastest. If I put it any faster the ball is whizzing back and forth so fast I can't get any kind of idea what is happening properly!
glamdring - sometimes I don't want to see what is happening. For example if I'm 2-0 up and coasting with 30 mins to go and am confident I'll win it, I have to sit thru 3 mins etc. Just means I'm finding it very hard to get thru the season. Only really get to play a few hours here and there, and at the moment I only manage 4 or 5 matches in an evening - with them taking 10-12 mins a pop y'know?
I probably get through a similar number of matches in an evening, but I guess I'm used to it so just accept it. I'm always watching tele or eating or doing something else at the same time as playing anyway so I just go at a leisurely pace and, in some games, have been known to take months to complete a season!

grand I'll try that too - people are warning not to set too high or it could causes freezes, any experience with that? or what is yours set to etc?
I reckon that would depend on how shabby your video card is. I havent used it in years but it's best to start on around 2^2.2 and then experiment until your satisfied.
@ glamdring - Some people don't want to watch matches for their own reasons. Perhaps it's a boring cup match or a friendly, it's just a case of personal preference.
Sure, I don't watch all mine, but that is what I use the commentary only option for rather than have the ball flying around the pitch at meteoric speed in key highlights!
