How'd that get there? I have a clean whistle when it comes to web browsing and it's not like I'll run a random .exe [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Anyone know more on it? Anyone else had it?

EDIT: Yeah looks like the file is corrupted, can't run the game at the moment [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

maybe take it apart and see whats inside? hard to believe someone would write a virus that would attach itself to EQ.. maybe its just a false positive

its a game file that the p99 devs modified in order to implement their anti-hack (antihack dll). some antivirus detection software believe that the file contains a virus, due to the mechanics involved.

Ok but whats the fix?

I've had AVG since I bought this PC, it's never flagged it til tonight... really weird :/

i think theres a bunch of new viruses out there.. my defender has been updating every day for like 5 or 6 days

ur antivirus software just noticed something suspicious about the file, that's all.

it just took it a few days for it to notice that the p99 dll was changed (due to the latest patch) and something is now suspicious about it.

i'm pretty sure its just a false-positive and that we can tell our antivirus software to ignore that file.

I had macafee and it never detected/flagged it until today.
I had to delete macafee and rerun the patch and got the game to work.
It seems that dsetup.dll is being picked out as a trojan by other antivirus programs as well.
