A Friendly Warning

DO NOT LEAVE THIS PRODUCT INSTALLED ON A PRODUCTION SITE! IT MASSIVELY UNDERMINES THE SECURITY OF THE SITE IT’S INSTALLED ON, AND IS VISIBLE TO ANY USER (EVEN ANONYMOUS). UNINSTALLING IN ADD/REMOVE PRODUCTS WILL NOT DO AS THAT DOESN’T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING. ALSO, BEARS WITH ASSAULT RIFLES WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND ROUGH YOU UP IF YOU DO.
