So if I have business version of AVG and it flags the .dll file - does some tech nerd at my company get an alert of this "virus" in my laptop or am I still okay to play on a work machine? LOL!

I am not familiar with AVG specifically but the short answer to your question is they will most likely have a log of the detection on your pc. However very few help desk departments are going to investigate every time a file is quarentined. Are you exposed if play at work, of course, most corporations could determine what you are running on your pc with a few strokes of a key. Even if you bring in your own equipment, if you ride on company bandwidth they could discover your malfeasance.

Playing on your own equipment with your own bandwidth is about the only way to avoid big brother. But usually you will find that big brother is not watching unless you give them a reason too.

Just keep submitting your TPS reports on time and the management wont have a reason to view your productivity as shit and investigate.

I'm having the same issue with AVG flagging dsetup.dll from the latest update as a Trojan horse. Is this something to worry about?

Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes have not indicated this file as a problem.

When are you patching again next. I scanned that last .dll and it doesn't set off virus protection. Which seems pretty odd to me.

I'm another one who can't remove/modify my virus software from my machine, so haven't been able to play since the virus software updated.

Then remove avg and replace it with a different one like malewarebytes. There isn't a work around if you can't limit your program from removing it.

If you use AVG go to Options > Advanced Settings > Exceptions and then just add your EQ folder.

Would someone PM me a contact email address for one of the devs? I'd like to make a plea for them to stop this. It punishes 99% of the players for the 1% who cheat, and the cheaters will find another way. There are so many ways... run the game in a virtual machine, run your cheats on a separate machine... those are just the first two that popped into my head as someone who doesn't cheat.

You are out of luck, they aren't going to change it. Have AVG ignore the DLL, get an actual good Anti-virus program that doesn't false positive everything, or quit playing.
