hi folks This is what i got when i opened wow this evening. I did open wow this morning etc.. never got this message from Avast. Could it be a background file that blizz updated to scan processes etc? idk im not much of a code wize kinda guy ,..but hey i kinda found it suspicious. Im kinda scared to start HB at this point. Can anyone shed a light on this ?
Hmmm, that is wierd. I use Avast IS and don't get/haven't had that message. Nothing else constructive to say beyond i don't get that message I fired up wow after reading it and no message.
THanks for the reply's, i did a little bit of research after finding this and sharing it for the rest of the community in case this happens to anyone else. There is only a fiew AV that detects this, Avast behing one of them. (Post regarding Glider on other website) (((Reverse engineered Scan.dll file, by SaFxZ./AFRAiD))) The whole purpose of this release is to circumvent the error message, and possible account/IP flagging of World of Warcraft. Been using this for myself for a while now, thought it would be a good one to release to the public now. According to my small research, WoW can (ofcourse) not flag your account, but they can flag your MAC/IP/HDD GUID and ban it from WoW. A MAC/GUID ban is what we call a hardware ban, and prevents you from playing WoW on the specific machine you were banned on, and and IP ban.. well, bans your IP. This can be worked around by a single phone call to your ISP though. So, why change Scan.dll? Good question. Scan.dll runs when you launch WoW, and it scans your memory for trojans, keyloggers etcetera, but also for bots. We're okay with it finding keyloggers, trojans etc, but we don't want it to find our bots. Therefore we keep the actual file in-tact, but make the part where it should scan for bots unreadable, by placing zero's. Does WoW update it's Scan.dll? They do in fact. On every boot, WoW initializes the following: Launcher -> Scan using Scan.dll -> Update Scan/Warden/WoW But, with our custom Scan file, it shouldn't be finding Glider! Is this undetected? Yes, it is. I've been using it for roughly two weeks now, launched Glider before launching WoW, and have had no problems whatsoever. But, be aware that they may (hot)fix this at any time. Will this get me banned? No, it's highly unlikely. Although Blizzard may change it's policy regarding modification of game files later on. As always, use at your own risk!
