It's a false positive.

Avira is known to be the worst Anti-Virus on the market.

Don't worry about it.

EDIT: I read that Avira themselves confirmed it to be malware. Just goes to show they are just horrible.

Noone else has this issue, then again, i guess not everyone uses that horrible Anti-Virus software Avira :p

change your av

http://www.av-test.org/no_cache/en/t...t_no%5D=132313 for example

I prefer

http://www.av-test.org/no_cache/en/t...t_no%5D=132331

restart your computer go into safe mode. Safe mode will only run things on your PC that absolutely need to be running. Run your anti virus in safe mode and it should take care of it. Let me know if you have any other questions I may be able to help.



NOTE:Also I see some people talking anti virus. Microsoft essentials is a great anti virus. Its free and made from microsoft. I use it and would suggest trying it

I suspect you got it from somewhere else because I dont have that folder or that file.

Hmmmm now that you mention it... Websites who sell gil/gold etc for mmorpgs do give players keyloggers and are classified as malware, and they usually install themselves into the gamefolders afaik. :eek:

it used to be good but the recent tests shows that it can't even catch the most normal viruses so I'd say no

Yeah, it used to be good when it came out, but viruses evolve, Microsoft does not.

Either a false positive, or something else installed the malware.

I actually beg the differ. But I'm not here to talk about whats the best anti virus because there isn't one.

(OP) Look at it this way. The best way to keep from getting trojans or almost any anti virus (malware, spyware etc.) is stop clicking on pop ups. Even better get ad block plus. I haven't got a virus in years. It's easy I don't download anything from a shady site. I don't click on pop blockers. IMO easy to stay away from this kind of stuff *shrugg
