So if I have business version of AVG and it flags the .dll file - does some tech nerd at my company get an alert of this "virus" in my laptop or am I still okay to play on a work machine? LOL!

I'm having the same issue with AVG flagging dsetup.dll from the latest update as a Trojan horse. Is this something to worry about?
Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes have not indicated this file as a problem. | ||

I know my opinion doesn't mean much, but I'm not involved in the development of the product, and I am not concerned by what it's doing...so I guess that's something?

Well, AVG blocked it again; now EQ won't start.

I'm trying to figure out how to unblock it. In the meantime, this is not something I'm super happy about. Obviously it's a free server so I can't complain very much, but it is something I've gotten attached to, and it's not something the real EQ ever felt the need to do (or any other game I've played since I've had this computer. So, 2011.). Edit: One of the processes blocked was in Windows/System32? No. I won't be unblocking that. That's not cool. The other is eqgame.exe. I'll unblock that one and see what happens. Edit2: Nope. I'm going to see if I can edit the DLL itself. If I can, and it works, then this whole thing is pretty silly because that's the first thing any malicious hacker would do. The sytem monitoring is bad enough, but no one's making changes to my Windows system folder. One typo and I've let some amateur coder on the internet turn my computer into a brick. | |||

The AV is triggering on the obfuscation, not on the functionality of the .dll btw.
All I did was add the eq directory to my exceptions list under Tools --> Advanced settings --> Resident Shield --> Directory Excludes in AVG and all was good.

When are you patching again next. I scanned that last .dll and it doesn't set off virus protection. Which seems pretty odd to me.
I'm another one who can't remove/modify my virus software from my machine, so haven't been able to play since the virus software updated. | ||

I'm looking at the DLL but while I've written plenty of code, I'm not experienced in reverse engineering it. Also, the decompiler gives a message that the headers have been destroyed, meaning it's been intentionally made difficult to reconstruct. I tried replacing it with the DLL from the last update (update 32), but it's able to detect that it's not the right one. So finding out how it knows the DLL is different is the real challenge; fixing the DLL won't help if it can tell it's been changed and still not launch EQ. | |||
