I dont think so. Its MacAffee and not some freeware from the deeps of the internet^^
I just remember that there was no spyware message when I installed EQ the first time, but now I took it off and reinstall all again :-/ hopefully it will work now.

ah, another question, it MUST be iso files for the install yes? just found out that I have 3 different types here, iso, ccd and cue EQ Disk 1 2 3 4 5.

Yeah...

The only legitimate issue is the DLL, which contains all sorts of objectionable code for obfuscation and anti-cheating, but it's not so different from most Korean MMORPGs to be fair. You can play, but you have to trust the DLL. If you trust McAffe, you're in for all sorts of disappointment and frustration...

This^ I ran into the same issue with adaware and avast. Both identified the dll as suspicious due to its behavior. If you want to play p99 you have to create an exception for the file. Adaware was particularly vigilant though and kept deleting the file at startup. I smacked it into line though ^^

still better than using nothing I guess. And I dont think its bad to be careful when its bells rings very loud on a download.

But anyway, I still cant launch the game. AV is completely off, I reinstalled everything, now is the problem that I dont have a launch exe anymore. Its says its in the download from p99, but there is just the launch.bat file.

Im very confused right now :-/

I did install EQ Titanium in a seperate folder in my C:
I downloaded the V36 from the "getting start" page here, with my av completely off. Put it into my EQ folder overwriting existing files, and deleted the 5 zone files (Nektulos, arena and so on)

now I should be able to start EQ but like I said now I dont have a launch exe anymore, only the Everquest.exe for the regular game what would lead me to the patcher...

whats wrong here now grrr

Its been stated ad nauseum that AV programs are dumb.... They will flag items they haven't seen before because they are omnipresent and know everything(/sarcasm off). That said this entire community is running the same files you are with the addition of the 5, and there isn't any malware on any of my three computers that have P99 installed.

Dumb AV hasn't seen these files enough to know if they are malicious or not, so it says they are as a CYA method....

You need to go into your anti virus and exclude the dsetup.dll file. Also it doesnt have to be ISO just needs to be EQ titanium in whatever form you have it.

V36 comes with a Launch BAT file.

Also, the exe you're looking for is eqgame.
