If there's a legitimate Trojan (and not just a false positive, though there shouldn't be on a non-cracked game like EQ), if enough people report the torrent as malicious it will get taken down.

Oh, and in response to your Trojan question, OP, best solution is to restart. If you don't already know what you're doing you're going to end up screwing up more than you fix if you go in and try to remove these yourself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well, good news! I finally was able to download the correct torrent AND get EQ up and running on my macbook.

Bad news, the little shit is still bouncing around my webpages. I've done some more research and it evidently is not technically a virus, more like adware, which is so shitty when I open pages. I have chinese wives now popping up on my google page.

I have never had an issue with my macbooks and any sort of adware/virus/spyware. I guess eventually I can bring it to my admin and have them do a full reinstall.

It is legit malware hidden in a trojan (maybe I made that up, but it is some sort of malicious program that causes popups and redirects now on my mac). It was from the 2013 torrent. I've since download the 2007 one, and got EQ to install seamlessly.

Was it from the CaseyEQ uploader on the bay?

I've used ESET online scanner for shit like that pretty successfully in the past.


Have you tried that?

I wouldn't trust anything from CaseyEQ in or outside of game.

Yes, it was the CaseyEQ one.

I'm looking for a mac expert who can close backdoors. The trojan reconfigured my browsers to create fake addresses through a backdoor, which needs to be eliminated.
