Everything in these threads are infected with a backdoor trojan or soome type of virus.Mainly something called win32/parite.This is suppose to be fun, not screw up my pc.So, if anyone has important info on their PC's, i warn them to protect it.Every single Eo and Zo server has been infected.No matter who says it hasn't.

Sadly hio77, the win/parite is real and its a dangerous virus if not taken care of early on. It targets all your executable files and spreads that way. The only server that I'm aware of that passed this virus was RevolutionEo, but I believe thy have fixed their issue.


Here's some more information on the virus and its different strands.

i never accally looked into what he was talking about because i know there are false positives ... as for revolutioneo distributing it accidentally that is a shame but all most all server files and game files released for anyone to use here are clean .... some Chinese tools do contain viruses sadly ...

but if you were to say get the newest files as of on here and client there should be no viruses at all ...

The generic win32/trojan that pops up generally with Anti Virus's are false positive. They are flagged because of the way they connect and get info from other programs.

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.

let me think .. is it play.exe or soul.exe? maybe autopatch.exe


if thats so. its just nothing, harmless

if you are talking about the XXXXX.dat than it is the mannequin. i have got it before than you need another client.

or like DarkHuntress said, than you have to say the server, not all p-servers

There is a possibility that the packing of the .exe files causes this problems...also someone could have packed sth into an .exe that infects you all...
