Figured this would be a first pager/sticky

[Mad Jacq]

This afternoon after a BSOD and sluggish performance I ran a Windows update. After further issues I ran a full virus scan (I use Norton).

After yet further issues I clicked on Norton's "click me if you still have issues" and downloaded their Norton Power Eraser.

This thing says something to the effect that it eliminates "crimeware" that is deeply embedded and may be missed by a regular scan.

On running this (I run it infrequently as a check when things get weird on my oldish-xp machine) for the very first time ever it declared "eqgame.exe" "Bad".......

I don't have regular SOE EQ installed. I only play here.

Well the tool isn't the greatest in the world. It never did explain what was wrong with eqgame.exe (embedded keylogger/simple change to the file due to expansion/etc.) but since something that scans for "crimeware" declared it bad I called upon it to do its thing.

Its "thing" eliminated my install of P99 essentially....

Since I have never seen P99's install give a problem like this before I would like for an official response on this as I can't play now (and wont reinstall I guess till i figure out what's what). I would also be interested to see if others who have Norton ran that "Power Eraser" software and tell me in this thread what it has to say...

thanks
