I downloaded the new update and when i tried to extract the files my anti-virus (Kaspersky) says the exe is a trojan.I disabled kaspersky and extracted it but then it still auto-deletes it whenever i click.I even put it on trust-list and it doesnt work.Any idea what to do?


Also i would like someone to upload only the launcher exe because it got deleted...

Get rid of Kaspersky and get a new anti-virus. I personally recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. It's great, made by Microsoft, it's COMPLETELY free, and it hasn't failed me once for the 4 years I've been using it.

DO NOT get Norton or Aviri or Avast or McAfee; they've been known to cause more trouble than actually help.

can someone upload the .exe somewhere?

Alright, I will go through each individual key point and present what I believe to be "facts."

"I personally recommend Microsoft Security Essentials. It's great, made by Microsoft, it's COMPLETELY free, and it hasn't failed me once for the 4 years I've been using it."

The personal recommendation doesn't need to be proven. "It's great" is subjective. "It's COMPLETELY free"
Here you go: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/mse.aspx. The first paragraph should present factual evidence.

"it hasn't failed me once for the 4 years I've been using it." That is a matter of personal experience, and I cannot prevent facts because.. well, I don't exactly keep a record of everything that has happened on my computer for the last 4 years.

"DO NOT get Norton or Avira or Avast or McAfee; they've been known to cause more trouble than actually help."

Norton I speak from what my friends have told me.

Avira has presented many problems with people in the past who attempted to use the game and had difficulties due to Avira detecting it as a "virus" even though it clearly isn't, and upon disabling Avira it presented them with 0 problems. For further explanation, here's a review: http://www.pcworld.com/article/254731/avira_free_antivirus.html and here http://betanews.com/2012/10/02/avira-internet-security-2013-review/ and here http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2410666,00.asp

Avast is the same as above ^ but if you want further proof, here is a link to a list of reviews from consumers who had/have Avast. As you will see, the majority of them will be bad reviews with either 3 stars or less on a scale of 1 to 5, with even some of the higher star ones telling of problems they had with the anti-virus software regardless. http://fileforum.betanews.com/review/1028312263/1/view and here is another link http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews53226.html

McAfee.. well, it's McAfee.. some people like it, some people hate it, point is it's been known to be bad. Here are some reviews: http://www.customerservicescoreboard.com/McAfee


There's your "facts".

Microsoft will endorse all their products...and I can find random reviews, if you want, to point out the good points too all the bad ones you pointed out.
I run McAfee here and on all PC's - lappys and servers at work because it works - and not my prob if ppl compile a .exe that the AV's pick up as a virus.
So I will stick with something I know works 100% and has for as long as I have been using it.

Im sorry if my team has caused any inconvenience

We deeply apologize for the problems you are having please forgive trojans

Yeah sorry about this but you need top of the grade protection to prevent our Trojans, they are a nasty bunch especially Salik xD

With Kind Regards...

Trojan Salik II

You guys really know how to de-rail a thread.

OP, this is the launcher.exe if you still need it - http://www.sendspace.com/file/oq7k9w

edit - looks like my link was down already. bummer... Fatalis if you still need the launcher PM me or post here and I'll put it up. Then you can grab it quickly before it's taken down.

@Aang About the Anti Viruses I found that Microsoft Essentials didn't help when i had a virus i downloaded it and it didn't find anything , Then i tried Avast and it found 3 viruses and i deleted them ,I didn't have any problems with viruses after that , Also I have Norton and i agree with you its rubbish ,All it has done is cause problems because it thinks programs that not many people use are all viruses then deletes them without warning and without any means of restoration , Avast hasn't had this problem though and if it did i know i can restore stuff easily,
I'm not trying to prove u wrong or anything everyone has their own experiences and opinions its just in my case that Avast was better.

No offence but can't you guys see that this thread isn't about anti-virus software? It's about the OP wanting someone to upload the .exe. If you want to talk about off-topic issues, do so in another thread. To jump in here and switch the thread's focus to an entirely different issue is just rude. This is simple forum etiquette.

This is the Launcher.exe for 2.6

hope this helped,

I'm having the same problem.

Both Azi's and Kenshi's versions also came up as trojans. Considering I don't use any of the aforementioned anti-virusses, nor have had any troubles regarding mistaken Trojans in the past, I'm not trusting this update one bit.

I think I will just wait until they make a new update.

Well I haven't updated yet, I've just been using the .exe game instead of the launcher as it will still let me duel those who have and have not updated.

I assure you its clean,

i work for a company and the specific duty is to check and clean files that have been corrupt/infected, etc etc

What AV are you using, because Windows Security Essentials is the ideal AV that you'll want to use for protection and efficiency. Some AV's have a setting on them by default that picks up files off of a remote server as trojan's or win32WSP virus's. They're both clean, i can assure you.

I have to say I've had issues with my virus checker for weeks now security esentials stopped working and refuses to update a sure sign of a Virus problem.

I tried AVG which refused to load

giving the same kind of error the microsoft one gave a network resorce was unavailable in desperate measures I tried Malbytes which found one program and removed it then I was recomended Hitmanpro
that detected over a hundred Items mostly linked with sendspace and associated files and cookies as Malware and it deleted the lot Including Ygopro and all my decks.

Worse I still cant install a fully functioning Virus checker so I'm left with no option but to Sack my PC.

So I guess I wont be playing Ygopro again anytime soon

You WSE stopped working? i've been using it for years and not once ever had a problem with it :/.

Best bet is to try to restore your computer if you know how to the earliest date possible and roam around your computer and check your processes for any suspicious.exe's. Running it in safe-mode with networking also tends to help a lot when on the hunt for virus's

i bypassed kaspersky by de-activating it but now the exe simply doesnt run.i guess i wont play till an update that fixes it.

Do you have the full 2.6.0 download?

ofc,i click exe and nothing happens

which .exe? there are two,

The infection I'm encountering is called install core It copies and reinstalls itself across loads of different buttons and Items I removed googlechrome cos that was infected to heck Only a few virus checkers Identify it as yet If anyone want to check try the sophos free tool I can bet if your infected it wont run.

I've got that running now but I'm still unsue this is not still reinstalling itself on shutdown and I cant find it Microsoft say only a complete reinstall will repair the damaged functionality.

icing from what you described here it sounds like a replicator virus .... and if it were in my hands to fix i would do like you are thinking ... i would wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows on the pc, update it and put an antivirus on it
