GTA Forums User, 'aboutseven', Noticed that, a C# Compiler was Running in the Background on his or her Computer and Traced it Back to a File Dubbed, "Fade.exe". Upon further Inspection, she or he Spotted that it was Using Internet Access. Turns Out it was a Keylogger.

Sites that Have Hosted the Mods, Have since Pulled them Down and for a Detailed Breakdown for How to Remove the Nefarious Files and Programs, Hit the Source Link, below. It Should Go without Saying that, if you've Installed these on your Computer, Changing All of your Passwords is Incredibly Important at this Point. In the Meantime, Enjoy a Video that Never Gets Old: Blue Whales Falling from the Sky and Causing Chaos in Los Santos. ;)
