ArenaNet Manager Virus?
Last week I got infected from a trojan and thought I cleaned it. Well, now it must have come back.
Now, when I open Guild Wars, the following window opens instead: http://i42.tinypic.com/2qn03ya.jpg When I click "Unlock my Account!" it pops up this: http://i42.tinypic.com/ic7de0.jpg When I click the Shopping Cart logo, it comes up this link: https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/St...ory= 4#group4 What in the world? Plz someone help me!!! It keeps popping up when opening Gw.exe! P.S. I looked in the shortcut properties in the Guild Wars Shortcut, and its "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" Last edited by Braxton619; May 02, 2009 at 04:09 AM // 04:09.. |

Just one question, Leet - is this a late April Fool's joke?
A "small fee" of the full price of a new copy of GW? "This money will be used for GW2"? If this isn't a joke, it's a highly dangerous trojan that needs removal immediately.

This is not a April Fools joke... it keeps opening when I open Gw.exe and I bet it is a virus because ANET will not do this...
Any way to remove it? |

I would just download a copy of MalwareBytes and run a scan in safe mode. Either that or use a program like McAfee in safe mode to check.
It would appear to be a joke but if the shortcut links to gw.exe then I wouldn't be so sure. |

Please download my Anti-Malware Toolkit and get the Professional package. Then follow the directions in the PC Cleanup guide. After that, please post a HijackThis log.
