heya all , i discovered in the midst of attempts to repair the game lag/lock up issues, and invisible characters at cc area, that this program has an exe file in it. I believe i dl it off bioware [ tho its prolly not important. Nortons Sonar reports it as acting suspciously and quarantines it. I love the hair styles it has inside, but i think the " make chargemcmorph.exe" is or may cause trouble for some users? anyways i thought i would alert any whom may be experiencing any difficulties with the program too .

Interesting.

Do a search for antivirus housecall from trend micro thru yahoo, google, bing, etc.

This WILL DL and install a small program on your computer, but don't worry, It's safe.

Trend has been one of the leading A/V companies of the last 10+ years, and they have an online scanner that you can use (housecall). Have it scan the area of your HDD where your quarantine files are located.

This, to double check.

 

The reason I say to do this, is because both Norton and Avira are both notorious for throwing out False Positives. (IE saying that a file is a threat when it isn't).

will do, i really didnt think they would put something evil in there but i thought mb it was causing issues with folks.un the other program as u suggest tho, ty again Darke

Yeah, I would think that even if they HAD put a nasty file in, that it would have been reported to Bioware, and they would have taken the matter into hand. I know that Nexus has a policy about that, (and our awesome staff is very quick to handle that kinda thing!) as does Social.Bioware.

 

Even so, I would not put in blind faith. I know that a while back we had a rash of fake files put up here on the nexus. They were dealt with promptly, but there were some downloads made, before the staff got them locked out.

 

No problem at all. And thanks for taking the time to put an awareness up about this particular file! *Kudos!*

When it comes to malware, we all gotta watch out for each other. That kinda stuff can turn your life into a living nightmare under the wrong circumstances!

i dl housecall and ran it, but it didnt find anything altho i have to tell u I do not know how to find quarrantined partitions/items to run scan there. I concurrentl re-ran Nortons and it did nto find anything either. While i doubt anything malicious going on, i did want to follow up on your suggestion! thanks again

Well, I havent had any experience with Norton's for a considerable amount of years, but usually A/V progs put the quarantine folder in the programs folder that they are located in so like Program Files/Norton/quarantine

 

tho you can also just have windows search for "quarantine" and it could find it.

Hrm, did nortons block the DL, or delete the file when it discovered the alert? Most likely why it didnt detect it again is that it's not set up to scan it's own quarantine folder. Housecall WILL however scan that folder, so it didnt detect it as a malware.

 

Ok, rambling. Sorry. Its good that you came up clean, I'm definitely glad to hear that! :smile:

 

Waaaaaaaaay back in my AOL days (shortly after getting my first computer) I DL'd Norton's and McCaffee threw a fit saying that IT was a virus. :woot: :laugh:

I found it absolutely hillarious that one A/V would call another A/V a virus. Tho, the term stuck, and I've referred to norton's as a virus ever since. Tho, thats actually more truthful of McCaffee as it is just bloody hard as hell to uninstall.

 

Oops, rambling again.
