1. Format the hard drive
2. Reinstall your OS
3. Install EQ and enjoy

If you have data you want backed up:
1. Before formatting, make a new partition on your hard drive and move the files you want backed up there.
2. Format the OS partition only and reinstall the OS
3. Move files back over to the OS partition and expand that partition over the one you were backing files up to.

Why are there more and more of these virus posts popping up? Is one of the client torrents infected now or something?

People do other things on their computers other then play EQ. Surely if they have downloaded EQ from torrent they torrent other things. Maybe the watch porn or visit other sites that give them the viruses.

Thanks for your needless input. As you see by the following 2 posts after you, the answer was yes.

well 2 posts in this section in last 4 months about viruses i wouldnt call popping up more and more. You would think there would be tons of posts about it if a copy on there that was widely downloaded had a virus. So yes i will eat my words on this one but not regret saying it.
