I just a while ago opened a .exe file that I thought was an addon for wow. It defiantly was not,
it was in fact a "Generic.PWS.WoW.B7078E0E" according to wow (world of warcraft). I was playing
at the time that i downloaded it (i have dual monitors and tend to multi task) and as soon as i opened
it wow closed. Thinking to myself thats kinda odd, i open up wow again only to have a warning sound
and a message saying-
""Generic.PWS.WoW.B7078E0E" has been detected on your computer. Running this program may
compromise the security of your computer and jeopardize your abillity to play World of Warcraft. It
is highly advised that you correct this problem before playing the game. For more information: [Click Here]"
the link they gave me took me to this site, http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=25570
At the time I had AVG running and never had any problems, so after being suggested Kasperky by
one of the Blizzard moderators on their forums,i figure ok ill try it and see if it can catch it, nothing,
so I try nod 32, nothing again. In total i have done 3 complete computer scans with programs installed
properly and two online scans. I don't know were to go next or what to do. I even tried to open it in
C++ to see if i could see exactly what it dose and then from there find it and destroy it, but the code
is in a different language.
I do have the .exe file still (in a rar file) and i can get the website address easy if that would help anyone
solve my problem. If you need any more information just let me know.
