Could be nothing, AV programs will look at things like if it can see a certain string in the code, may just be a response to a special series of bits.
But, could also be a major thing. The person claiming to be the DDoSer about a (!) month or so ago (!) stated that he was a programmer and had been one on the people involved in the programming behind the free shards (forget exactly his claim)... soo.. where did you download Sallos from? Might be interesting to see if you have a "special" version that was made to use to launch DDoS attacks on UOF from.
i can imagine if a virus was planted by UO players then it would be for most likely for capturing account information. Don't know much about computers though. @Adam @eppy
I've never used sallos personally because I was told you need to log on basically through the creators server or something. Not sure what that's about.
Interesting. Sort of the situation you find yourself with ingame. Come across a new blue player you've never met. You want to accept them as a friend, but you can't stop the feeling that they may be killing you if you give them a chance.This was directly from the new UOF launcher.
Keep in mind, ive had sallos for months with zero issues, this was detected from the update from the UOF launcher itself. I scan mostly everything before i download/extract/ or install.
Ive had this problem before the launcher. Basically all you have to do to fix it is go in to you Anti virus software and there should be a option to exempt files. Then all you have to do if make sure the launcher file is exempt.
So in your opinion this is nothing to worry about? I wish some admins would chime in on this.
Thats an Artemis detection ...
Essentially its a place holder detection and usually not much to worry about
As far as i know they Staff are aware of it but since i play Sallos i havnt had any issues such as my account being hacked n such.
I believe this is correct because in the Sallos thread there was talk about the AV picking up a different pattern in the program because correct me if im wrong but Adam did go in and changed things in the Sallos program hence why the AV is thinking its a virus.
I didWhy don't u page GM or PM Shane about this to cobfirm?
No replies from them?I did
