PoL Trojan?!?!

Re: PoL Trojan?!?!

As for the malewarebyte I didn't see you say anything about it.

try to download and run malwarebytes and combofix after you run the scan in safe mode.

It just found another ExecVariant.C Trojan in my PoL folder >.< But I just installed PoL, how can it have a trojan in it? :/

Rootkit attacking that same folder maybe, or maybe it didn't get removed. O_o

Shhh.... XD

I'll check out the malewarebytes as well then. I just didn't see it when I read your post lol.

Yea maybe... But I will be removing them soon once the scan finished...

*5 hours later*

ZZZZZZZZzzzzz.....

<Edit> Wtf? How the hell did I quote myself when I was quoting you? O.o; lol

<Edit 2> I think I know what is messing me up... I have a FakeAlert.ISpyNow Adware on my PC. I was looking up on the internet and it says it gives false alerts about programs being malicious and such. Is there anything else about this virus I should know about, and what it does, and how it does it? Google searching is turning up nothing about it besides what I just wrote.

Re: PoL Trojan?!?!

I played FFXI for a few hours today and logged off and shut down my pc. 2 hour later I came back and wanted to play again and I started up the PoL and my anti Virus found a deleted a Trojan virus that was hiding with in the PoL file!

Now, I need to re install the PoL, but because of this "trojan" my computer found in the file, I can not uninstall it, nor can I reinstall. When I do a roll back, it says it found the trojan again, and deletes it. I have to delete the PoL to re install it but... I can not delete it. Any help please?!?!

Maybe this is related. I just ran across a 4 page thread complaining about Mcafee reporting a virus in PlayOnline. The thread was created today (well, yesterday now).

Glancing through it, it sounds pretty much like the problem you're having. Here's the link: Playonline Virus (Mcafee FALSE POSITIVE) - Order of the Blue Gartr

Re: PoL Trojan?!?!

Cool. thanks for the link. I'll look through it to see if I can solve any of the issues I am having. was hoping to have it fixed before I went to bed. I just did another rollback and I hope that fixed it though. thanks for the link again.

Two people in my LS last night got hit by McCrappee. This sounds like a false positive.

I was going to post that here, but it seems I was beaten. Norton pretty much sucks so it wouldn't shock me if they are also giving a false-positive.

Yea thats whats happening IMO. How did they fix it?

<Edit> I just rolled back (Again to about 2 weeks to where I had NO issues), and I am getting a different kind of error...

Its a blank error box like a normal box. In it it has a red circle with a white x going through it. Theres an ok button in it and thats it... Its a weird error box...

ITS WORKING AGAIN!

What I did was a roll back Full Reinstall of PoL, and it finished the update. Now its working again... Now... I gotta remember my PoL user ID... I know the numbers but not the letter XD
