Default Virus Free?

Old EQ player from back in the day.

installed P1999 and made it all the way to level 3 on my Half-Rlf bard before the virus that came with it made me roll my system back.

Any tips on finding a clean install?

I came across the same issue last week while helping my uncle get it set up. If it was a "generic trojan" associated with the dll file that came packaged in the patch downloaded from this site, it's a false positive. That dll is an anti-cheat measure with certain technical elements that makes it look like malware to some antivirus software. Whitelist it and you'll be ok.

Did you download the torrent from CaseyEQ? if so believe that has a virus in it. You need to download the copy from 2007 that has the iso's for the titanium discs and go through the process.

Moving to Technical Discussion.

The only ISO's I would ever get for Titanium are the ones that user "NeroMorte" uploaded. I know that those are 100% safe and include all the files.
