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.

Tell your antivirus to ignore your P1999 directory. Re-download the new spell files from the forums, copy them to your P1999 folder. Good to go.

I have to figure out how to do that. My AVG picked it up this morning as well. Work the next three nights so might not have time to figure out how to do that until I get off. If you figure out how to make the exception in AVG let me know.

Options, Advanced Settings, Exceptions on left Pane, Add exception, do a folder, and select the p99 everquest folder.
