Greetings! After exhaustive testing and checking of files we have found no trace of trojans, viruses or any codes or transmissions of malicious intent. We have checked the MDF checksums of the files in the installers as well as on the servers and they are complete matches. We can safely say that there is absolutely NO trojan or virus in elementclient.exe Because this issue with viruses occurred only AFTER Anti-virus databases were updated on 25th Jan, we are certain that this is merely an incidence of a 'False Positive'. Which is to say, that the Anti-Virus software is WRONG. THERE IS NO TROJAN/VIRUS. For the meaning of 'False Positive': ( Taken from http://forum.perfectworld.com.my/viewtopic.php?t=9712 ) Quote: False Positive Definintion False positive Synonyms: False alarm A false positive is another way of saying ‘mistake’. As applied to the field of anti-virus programs, a false positive occurs when the program mistakenly flags an innocent file as being infected. This may seem harmless enough, but false positives can be a real nuisance. * You waste productivity due to user down-time. * You may take e-mail offline, as a security precaution, thus causing a backlog and more lost productivity * You waste even more time and resources in futile attempts to disinfect ‘infected’ files. And if you load a backup, to replace ‘infected files, the backup appears to be infected too. In short, false positives can be costly nuisances. The term is not confined just to the anti-virus world. It also applies, for example, to anti-spam protection, where it refers to the misidentification of a legitimate e-mail message as spam. This too could be very costly, since the undelivered e-mail may be a business critical message. Players may not be able to play Perfect World because your anti-virus software may have quarantined, deleted or blocked the game client from running or transmitting data. As such, you will need to disable your Anti-virus temporarily in order to play. A user posted at http://forum.perfectworld.com.my/viewtopic.php?t=9707 a possible method to do so. Because there are a huge variety of anti-virus software out there and the methods for each may differ, you may need to refer to the userguide that came with your anti-virus to find out how to allow the game to function normally. Users who are uncomfortable with the idea of disabling your anti-virus in order to play the game are encouraged to report this 'False Positive' incident to your respective Anti-Virus vendors. Your Anti-Virus software provider should then either patch their databases to allow Perfect World to run again or inform you of ways to allow the game to run. For further discussion regarding this issue please refer to the post at: http://forum.perfectworld.com.my/viewtopic.php?t=9666 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
