Many programs exist to try to help you “get ahead” in Ultima Online. Not only can usage of these programs result in your account being banned, but they can do far worse. Downloading any of these programs and running them may have unforeseen consequences. Clever computer criminals will embed other executable files into such programs to help them gain access to your machine by placing a Trojan there.
