PS3 controller & MotioninJoy
Posted: Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:01 pm
I saw this being discussed in the server a couple weeks ago and I promised I would bring this up here. In game I use a PS3 controller and in order to use that controller I have to use a program called MotioninJoy. When loading MotioninJoy on my laptop, I had a good deal of spyware and possibly a virus that came with it. I believe I got everything cleaned off and everything works as it should and I've been up and running with it for almost 2 years now. Issues I've had are that the program will one day decide it doesn't want to start up in which I can only uninstall it and reinstall it, hence going through the virus/spyware nightmare again. I finally learned to save a "safe" copy of the file to a USB and reinstall it from that. I have to do this every 3-4 months for some reason, but no biggie.
Here's my question. Is this the only way to use a PS3 controller on the PC and if so, can one of our tech gurus verify a "clean" copy that we can use here or at least provide a download link for a safe version? Does that even make sense? For all I know, maybe my copy has the spawn of satan on it and I just don't realize it.
Oh, FWIW, I posted this here instead of the tech section to be sure that it's read. The stuff in the tech section seem to be ignored sometimes.
