Game with that script: http://www.roblox.com/R2D-v32-AI-Zombies-place?id=1871149

That script will search your computer for a software named "Cheat Engine", a hacking software. Many players post negative comments about that script, as players said that it's a spyware. And you can get jailed for spywaring people's computer.

Also, he may use that script to search for important files in your computer, such as secret documentaries. We can't know.

Yep, it's illegal. Use Fiddlr or something to return falses if you do have CE, but IDK, not an expert on Fiddlr and such.

People shouldn't even be able to do that with scripts in the first place. In my book that itself counts a an exploit even if it is to stop exploiters (which I hate).

They cam't do that with a script.This is either made up OR you're confused.ROBLOX scripts can't even interact with the host machine/computer.The most you'll get out of someone's PC is the time.

This could be spywaring, but the people who complain about it are exploiting so they have no right to complain about it.

ROBLOX automatically shuts down/kicks the user if they open Cheat Engine.This is hard-coded into ROBLOX.It isn't a script in the game.

Sorry, but I know they can:

for i,v in pairs(game.LogService:GetLogHistory()) do
for k,m in pairs(v) do
if type(m) == 'string' and m:lower():find('program files') and m:lower():find('cheat engine') and m:lower():find('failed to resolve texture format') then
print('Player is using Cheat Engine!')
localplayer:kick()
end
end
end

@chi

I don't exploit, i just looked up about them after a bad encounter with an admin exploiter and found out about this, which caused me to freak out and feel unsafe if scripts can do things like this.

This isn't ilegal because it can only check your files but can't interact with it so it does nothing to your computer :)

i know, but it's still a bit scary because back in the day, and also in most people's minds today there's a big limit on what ROBLOX scripts can do, and doing stuff like this is something that would throw people into disbelief.

well now i guess i can kick people for owning skyrim for no reason.

Doesn't do anything.This script has absolutely no results.You CAN'T read what files a user has on their computer.

You CAN I have already tested and it worked, I haven't sent you the whole script because I do not want anyone to see. I just sent the last part which kick the cheat engine user.
