Trojan

    Hi all, its been a long time.


    Ok, started the start up for Crossfire, it started to update files as it normally does when you want to play MP,


    AVG kicked up and detected a Trojan Virus from the server whilst it was updating the files.


    file is called Trojan Horse Agent3.BLJG, it attacks one of freelancers dlls (can't remember which)
    which prevents you activating the mod, and flags up as a serious Virus in AVG.


    This Trojan effects ALL mods be it Crossfire Disco, ect...


    I can't get rid of it, so its a total re-format for me. :(


    Just wanna know if anyone else has had this problem??

    It's not a trojan horse. I had the very same issue with my AVG. Select "Ignore Thread" and then add the Freelancer folder on the exceptions list, once the mod is activated. Disabling your AV during the activation is a good move as well.

    Had the same problem. Interesting thing though was that a regularly sweep didn't see it but after the PC had been on for a bit I got the same alert for the same thing. The file involved is the libcurl.dll and according to OP it is used for plug-ins. I called AVG and the short of it was dissatisfaction with them on this issue. First person wanted to sell me something before they even looked up my account. Anyway, once placed in the exception folder that is the end of the silliness. :D

    You really believe someone reads those, lol?

    yes... i do
    last time avira was detecting such a crap ive submitted the files to them to do a detailed scan
    after that they patched the av tool so the files were not giving false positives

    libcurl.dll Yup thats the one m8, same here.


    Ok, gonna do a fresh install now of Crossfire and make an exception in AVG for it.
    As we know any dll that gets changed through the mod re-writing/updating it, sometimes AVG
    and other progs think its getting attacked and gives out false warnings ( as Op said :P )


    Just that it alarmed me so because i run a VERY tight ship on my computer, and i am careful
    what i download.


    Anyhow, looking forward (hopefully) seeing you guys online soon. ;)

    To answer your question OP, yes they do. I have sent two emails to them with the particulars since their tool they sent me while it would run, it indicated that "AVG doesn't seem to be installed on this computer. Install AVG and run again." I sent that to them as well. Haven't heard back form them.
