From what I know about you DamageX you seem to be pretty informed, and you should know this industry pretty well (running your own board and all) and know that threads like this could potentially create hysteria without a real reason just because it is posted and most people dont READ the whole thread, just the headers.
Once we heard about this thread we went ahead and removed the unused file to a few programs (older MPA3 installs) to make sure this type of un-reasoned threads started again. Funny thing is that the file in questions said "NO_SHAVING" which in my vocabulary is pretty straight forward. MPA3 = NO_SHAVING.
Here is a link to a newsbit you might or might not have seen:

"Mansion Productions Pursues MPA3 Misconduct
Thursday, October 27, 2005
LOS ANGELES ? Mansion Productions, whose suite of software products streamlines paysite administration, has issued a notice of termination to a user of its popular MPA3 affiliate software.
The user was found to have altered MPA3's source code. According to a top Mansion Productions officer, "We discovered that a certain affiliate program had deployed an unauthorized module that seriously tampered with Mansion's own code."
These changes could have potentially affected the integrity of affiliate data. The officer added, "We wanted to nip this in the bud to prevent any further abuse of our product to potentially create inaccurate affiliate data."
Mansion Productions has zero tolerance for this type of activity, and has engaged counsel to take appropriate action.

We take this more serious than anyone else, obviously being one of the most scrutinized affiliate program softwares in the industry due to the fact that we are an industry leader... And, I hereby invite you to come to my office and choose ANY of our programs and do a revision of the source code.
Any time.
