What did you use to get rid of it pm me this info please :)Quote:
I also got the win32parite virus. It infected all program files and windows files. It has taken me a long time to get it cleaned up. This was not the fault of the Owner of the game. He found out about it and immediately put out a new client. I have downloaded other clients that showed a virus and nothing happened because the antivirus software just thought it was a virus. This time the virus was real and came from a patch. Everything is fine now and the new download is clean. lustdemon this was a one time incident since I have downloaded and played many pservers. Do not generalize since I am not aware of any other pserver having this issue. Owners would not intentionally give their players a computer virus. That would not make any sense at all.
A Big Warning to all who play Pservers!

i like to give a nice response on this here
why does every1 complain about this ??
they sended a link a few posts back before my post ( other page) with a link to the explanation
do some1 read it ?? i guess not
let me quote the best part of that text and when you are sure you got a virus (its harmless it just incrase your hd usage ... it doesnt even change your files -.- )
now , wanna know some other funny part
the reason why it give it is because of the client , it is not a original size (ey , same as keygens and cracks of games o.O , most of the time it are win32 parites to :D)
and it doesnt match the original checksum of the file , so it says that it is infected when it is just a edited file
well , thats what a virus does basicly , editing your file but doesnt generate a fresh cecksum
well , i forgot to thell you the funny part
go to a only webscanner
the 1 that got 15 scanners online for a single file
scan your exe file called soul.exe from your private server
and do the same with the original (yea , 1.2GB download to test it :D)
now , exept a few differend things and a few other virus warnings will you notice 1 thing in common
guess what , they both contain that virus and only 6 virus scanners says that warning
size difference = 1 mb
virus warning difference = 2 virus scanners doesnt report it with the original client when it does with the private version (chinese version) ,
and to safe you time for scanning
take a look at this table , special for you is it a already done virus scan of eo

and if you find a difference betwean those 2 , let me know
enjoy the list

as long that is not in your file then it is mostly a false positiveQuote:

I really did not understand what you were saying except the part about it being a false positive. That would be incorrect. It infected my whole computer. I could not open programs for it infected my program files. It whiped my icons along with my taskbar from my monitor so I could do nothing. It infected my windows files. I do not consider this a false positive. I have experienced viruses before that were nothing. It was because of the packing. This one is different. You have to reinstall windows to get rid of it completely. So what are you saying?

well, that you are 1 of the persones with bad luck
and that it isnt the win 32 parite that dit it
the win32 parite is harmless if it infects you
it only change size of your files so your files are taking a lot of space
as example
you got 100GB hd and 50GB files on it
with the virus you use 75GB space instead 50
thats the only thing it does
it makes your files larger but it does not do any harm for the rest
so the virus you got of that delete icons and other stuff is a other virus
the strangest virus i ever got was a virus on xp that keeps changing your password all the time (nice virus) and a irritating copy virus (keeps looping your directory's with copy's of copy's of ... , so you see your c:/ on your c:/ drive , open it and you see it again with same dirs and that on a looping so it never stops )
if you check the last link i sended , the virus scan link
then you see that those 2 files are the same , exept on size
they both got the virus in it , only norton and other virus scanners does not reconise it anymore as a w32/parite on your pc
but like you know to , not every file is the same
some releases contains a virus like the mannequeen version
game runs normal , start up a mannequeen and your computer freeze by a 99% cpu usage
then the other point i mean
the best example i can give is navicat , it is the most used program for our developers
some use the light version , others use the premium Cracked version
if you scan the cracked version then you get differend virus warnings (trojan generic)
and even the win32/parite is sometimes found on it
but they are harmless to
and now the best example
if you got norton virus scanner
try to download a crack of norton and you will see that norton starts to flame at you with a realy big virus warning
scan the same file with a other virus scanner and it says that it is a trojan generic , and scan it with a other virus scanner and it doesnt say a thing
the point i mean with all this is that there are a lot of files that got false positive because they does not match the original file (edited) like a virus does
or it got register changes into the exe file , same as a virus does
but they are just harmless , most of them
not all of them
if you got some spare time and realy want to test it then do it this way
1) install 2X a clean windows on 2 differend computers
2) install the client with the win32/parite virus on 1 of the computers
3) start benchmarking and 1 week later , see the results
result : no change , they are both the same
a virus will be noticed instand , it does not wait 1 week to become active
exept the jowood virus (not sure of the name , prevent you from booting up after XX restarts) but that doesnt even get reconised as a virus because it is a small registry change on windows xp (like windows activation)
to explain the eo file
just check the link and check then the file info on it
you see that nothing match original , so it is modified

ps: i dont know how i can explain it the good way that it does not harm :s and that only a few files are positive and 95% are false positive

I was not one of the few unlucky ones. Numerous people got the same virus. It attacks your main systems not just the game. Program files and Windows system. Each time I tried to do anything it through up an error saying the file did not exist. Some were simple programs others were OS systems. A false positvie non-virus does not whipe out your icons and taskbar. The problem with this virus is that your anti virus puts it in a vault but it is a file needed to run your OS. Which is why you have to restore the infected files then clean them with the tool specified for the virus. Finally you have to just reinstall windows. Like everyone else, I also have seen false/positives due to the packing of files from a download of a game. Sadly this was not the case this time. Thankfully the owner realized what had happened and immediately uploaded a new client. So this would not happen again. However I have never recieved a virus of any kind from this forum.

well , i got 1 time a virus and not the false positive
its explained in my post i made with the solution what it exactly infects and its easy to get rid of it (only takes hours if you got more then 1TB of files)
the win32/pariteB virus (the 1 found on this forum , and mostly false positive :P)
it infects all your exe files ,
what does it do and how to know that you have it
well , it prevents the programs from running , or you need to re install it
it adds a small part to the file so the file isnt normal anymore and cant be run anymore
and takes up some space
for the rest it doesnt do damage , easy to remove with the right tool but just anoying that no files will run (ddl and exe files) because the program crash because of it
even more fun , some files still keeps working , and other files like msn refuse to work , to deinstall or whaterver that a exe file need to do
but basicly it doesnt harm so mutch and you notice it when you got the real 1 (you will figure it out fast enouf if nothing is working anymore after reboot or after first launche)
only downside of that virus is that it stays in your memory , but easy to heal
after i dit the scan on my computer , and 99% is healed
only the files on my removable hard disk are deleted , tehy coulnd be healed because it was inside exe files (some false positive to :'( ) so i lost a few files
but my windows is still fine and working like always
well , if you ever got a virus from this forum then it can be the win32/pariteB , then just download this tool and it should be fine (worked for me :D)

its a file from avast virus scanner , called Virus Removal Tool
its freeware , its small and it does his job , but it isnt a virus scanner and only remove the win32 variants of virusses ( about 300 virusses that starts with win32, like the win32/pariteB)
wel , lets hope that this can solve a lot of problems then :D

well , i got only 15GB music and i got the same space as funhacker (1TB hd , 750 GB hd 150GB hd , 300 GB hd as C: and 300 GB as D and 110GB as E(backup of windows) and they are kinda all full
few backups of my music (thats 15GB ) and a few movies ( 200GB or so) and all the rest ??
well , just scripts and programs and games and installers and dublicates and 2X a windows on it
so its kinda easy to waste space :D
total free space i got left ?? about 100GB or so
4GB on C: and 25GB on D:
total scan time = 6 hours
witht hat program i scanned only my c:/ and d:/ and takes 2 hours
my rem drives are done with a full scan and tooks 6 hours
and c: with a Quickscan after it tooks 3 hours
so the program is faster :P but it doesnt scan all virusses like explained before ^^
