Uh oh. If the idea of adding DRM to prevent reverse engineering of a licenced property wasn’t enough, now it seems there’s a possibility some keylogging software is stuffed under the hood as well. Sonic Retro’s Twitter said:  A keylogger has been discovered in the Sonic 2 HD alpha (thus why it tips off antivirus software.) We strongly advise removing the software. We will be posting a clean-up guide shortly. I apologize for the short notice. As much as I love this game, I might have to give it the boot to protect my privacy. What do you think of this whole mess? EDIT: A Public service announcement about the discovery is on the Sonic Retro Blog Zoom
