i have the same problem. glad to see a Gm's input but my problem is that i was fine exempting this file from being removed by the antivirus and the only place it was being picks up was in the EQ folder. i understand that it's their way of checking for hackers, but i now am getting the "generic11" file warning in other parts of my computer, like my systems folder.. this Trojan horse seems to be spreading which gives me worry now when before i just ignored it because i love classic everquest (project 1999), any explanation for this moving to other parts of the computer?

It's not a trojan, and it shouldn't be spreading - if you have a virus and you know it is spreading through your computer, there is another malicious file affecting you. Ours wouldn't/doesn't do this.

sounds good. i don't believe i have a virus i do extensive scans, and am very careful with what i do. I was just curious do to the fact i have never seen generic11 file until it picked up the one in the EQ folder. as of now i see no other malicious files in my system, and have gotten rid of the others. so all seems to be well so far.

"generic11" is a very common false positive. Even the official Adobe Reader download has set off AV programs as "generic11".

It's probably a trojan that Image/Skazo uses to data-mine you for ideas. These guys make a living stealing things from other people.

Either way, a computer game that requires you to download a trojan that grants complete access to your computer? ("It doesn't do that"...it's a trojan, yes it does, it's not HALF a trojan, or 1/3 of a trojan or a mini trojan with limited powers, its a full blown trojan.

Trojan on your computer.

Some dweeb requiring you to give up access to your computer to play your little dream game. I wonder what else their egos convince them of, that you owe them any investment ideas that your little computer can possibly contribute.

When you see your mouse moving around by itself you'll know why.

Whoops, sorry that was my blatant psychosis. Forgot where I was.
