Malware?

[Iniamyen]

I installed Everquest Platinum, followed the installation guide. The game doesn't seem to like to run via the shortcut directly, but it seemed to run in the WinEQ window manager. I connected to the server just to test it out. When I exited the game, I noticed that about a million malware programs were running and had installed crap onto my machine. It seems to happen when the game is running, so whether the client or the window manager is the problem, it's hard to say, as I can't run the game without the window manager (black screen.) Anybody else experience anything like this?
