Guild Wars 2

This afternoon I decided to start playing gw2. I had played it in the morning but when I started it i got and error from AVG telling me to move the game to the vault. This had been caused by an ADP Trojan located in GW2 exe. Why would there be a virus in the app? Who knows what this ADP trojan is? And any soloutions? AVG says this is a severe threat so I dont want to take any chances. It might also be worth mentoining that my account has been hacked before. Thank you for replies in advance

This would not be an Account Issue, but rather something for the Tech Support sub-forum. You can find a Sticky about AVG and Guild Wars 2 over in Tech Support.

If you believe you have a Trojan, you can completely remove your GW2 files and clean your computer, then re-download. Your virus scan software should be able to tell you what this ADP Trojan is (they all have somewhere to look them up), or try Google. Also, you can read and/or post on AVG’s forum and seek information or help there.

Good luck.

It’s a false positive.

It’s a false positive.

I don’t think it is.

Yesterday AVG picked up the trojan and isolated gw2.exe in its vault. I initially thought it was a false positive and returned the gw2.exe file back to the game directory and played as normal.

Today I found a spam email in my mailbox coming from an email address “one_of_my_character’s_name @yahoo.com”. There is no way anyone (except ANET) would have linked the character named to my email unless some spammer somehow got hold of my details from gw2.

This is getting me worried and I hope ANET is looking into urgently as it is a real security issue.
