XF 1.4 ******* helper folder what is this?

[Mr Lucky]

I am cleaning up ostuff from my installation and found this folder ******* Helper.

Does anyone know what this is and can i delete it. NB: I do have one ******* addon, but it doesn't include that folder so I'm a bit perplexed. Can anyone please help?

You will need to contact ******* for any questions related to it.

If it's not related to the add-on you do have installed though then you should be able to delete it.

Correction, my mistake. It did come with that addon. Please feel free to delete this pointless thread

Do some searching about *******. Most people would consider ******* addons a major security risk. I have deleted all ******* software from my sites and also from my computer.

Can you explain more, a search found a few things but I'm a bit confused about what is actually wrong.

I have to say I was a bit surprised when I tried to install an addon on my test site, and was not allowed to "Invalid License of *******" surely a licence should cover a (non public) test site?

Is uninstalling the addons then deleting the directories all that is necessary to be be safe from the possible security risk?

I cannot believe the experience I am having with ******* support. I am frankly shocked at their antics.
I've just been told that a major showstopper bug is MY fault for expecting too much of a mod that was provided as is (yet it was a paid mod) - they've said it's not down to them to fix.

I'm livid
