Warning regarding nearly all of Tom_BMX's apps
First, I would like to say that we are not condemning the the use of Tom_BMX's tools, and that we appreciate the massive amount of work he has done in the area of xmodel and xanim ripping for the Call of Duty series. It has helped our team in a number of different ways, for which we are grateful and humbled. We realize that without these tools, the Black Ops 2 and Modern Warfare 2/3 model porting we do for UGX Mod would not be nearly as straightfoward, and obtaining the animations would be impossible without his tools.
With that in mind, I would like to make our users aware of some recent activity regarding these tools, and would like to explain what exactly is going on and how it may concern our users. At the end of the post you can find steps to follow in order to ensure you are protected from the malicious activity.
Lastly, we would like to encourage Tom_BMX to respond to these allegations, and provide explanation as to why he has done this.
Thank you.

Background
Back in August 2012, I discovered that Tom_BMX's Xmodel Export Utilities (which was still a new program) was sending data to Tom's servers paired with your public IP address.

This information could be used to track you and also in some cases obtain your general location (based on your ISP's setup - sometimes it's completely inaccurate).

We are not trying to stir up any "bad blood", and any posts from forum users which are hostile in nature will be removed from this topic.
Thank you.
