Being as this is a new trojan will programmes like The Cleaner still pick it up?
Because today I lost all my accounts pass word changed, and I am checking every thing now but I'm coming up clean. Can it be that it's not picking it up?
Does this mean i have to delete all my bot progs MH which i dont even use cept for MH???
EDIT: Do these programs have to be on while on bnet to get the trojan or you get the trojan thing even if the progs are in your pc?This should be stickied right away im getting scared .
we shouldnt even advise anyone that there are trojans in some d2 hacks because if they would just read a little bit on the internet they would see what to download and what not to download and where to download the good stuff.....we dont need to advise poeple even more when in a site such as yahoo you can just search one of the million other persons that post warnings not to download anything from untrusted sites... or just to check them with a scaning program
pekson:just go get one of those scanners tacox mentioned at the beggining of the thread or format your computer than youl be 100% sure youl have no more viruses......

This means you SHOULDNT DOWNLOAD hacks in the firstplace unless its from a Zelaron Verified Site (http://www.d2dl.com). And Xenn, why would I ever spread a trojan out like this! The trojan cleaners I listed above WILL not clean this up, although I have obtained a fix for it and it will be posted Monday possibly.
