Not sure if this belongs in the tech support forum, but move it there if so.

Anyway, this morning my AVG found a Trojan (Genric5.JMY) in the fmod.dll file in my WoW directory. I'm not sure if this is also a false positive, but it hadn't found anything like this in the past so I wasn't sure. Looking for any kind of feedback I can get.

Thanks

I just have the Trial version for now, and it downloaded the update this morning before running. Version appears to be 269.10.4/896.

I didn't see when it was editted before quarantining it, but I keep my WoW directory on an external HD that I keep with me, and AVG said that fmod.dll also was infected.

Hidat.

i am also having the same problem. i have the same def., which i believe is the most updated version as of now, but im using the full version. I moved it to my virus vault, and emptied it out, now my game doesnt start

i have the same problem and as of right now i cannot play wow.

I also have the problem.

Edit: I can run WoW by turning off the Resident Shield for anyone who really wants to play.

Same problem for me-> What are we supposed to do? ><

I'm having the same problem. I've tried ignoring the virus warning, healing it, and moving it to the vault. I cannot get the game to start at all. When I tried the repair tool, it stops in the middle and says I don't have permission to write and closes.

I am yet another person with this exact problem, obviously restarting and closing other apps don't work, anyone tried reinstalling?

ok update. more details. my avg found fmod.dll to be a virus, now its gone. wow wont work with or without it. downloading fmod.dll from the net will not work.

my moms computer seems to work... but put fmod.dll on a usb drive and bring it to mine and BOOM virus and its cleaned/deleted. nothing works. used repair utility 3 time. havent reinstaled yet.


EDIT: my moms comp uses avg also and is not affected

This is ridiculous. So many people use this anti-virus software. Blizzard better put a quick fix.

The same thing happened to me, on the same file, on the same edition of AVG.
Must be the stupid hackers, they are getting too bad......
We must get rid of them!

It's a false positive. Calm down.

Click service then "Potentially Unwanted Program Exceptions", then add fmod.dll. So you can keep resident shield on, otherwise, turn it off while playing wow.

i also am having the same problem with AVG (newest version). i've repaired and such and as soon as the file is downloaded a trojan is found and i heal it through AVG and thus i cant play (because that file is missing and is vital for wow to run).

same problem here, attempting to repair, if not i'll roll back my system to midnight last night...

Grarr!

Happened to me to, I tried to heal it. No go.

-_-

Is there a link we could find to redownload that file and overwrite it?

This seems like a false alarm on AVGs part. Not a Hacker thing. But maybe that is because I can't recall actually clicking on any unsafe links or anything.
