I have been playing since 2011 and my virus scanner never detected this virus until the most recent patch.

It should have been in red capital letters next to the download link, "WARNING...YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD A TROJAN VIRUS TO PLAY OUR FREE GAME!!! Again, it's a bit late now. I added the dsetup.dll to my VS vault before realizing what it was.

I wish I would have been given the courtesy of a warning prior to this virus infecting my computer. I will never really know if they took information, or what.

It's really really not ok for strangers to have access to my computer with all my private information, under the guise of a "free" game. As I said, it's already too late, thanks.
There's no Trojan here. Just code that looks like a trojan to most AVs. It doesn't access your private information, unless you consider file paths of loaded modules into the EverQuest client 'private' or 'sensitive' information.

You obviously have no idea what a trojan is, so I doubt there's anything I can do to convince you otherwise.

Good day.
