Sheur2.QLA Virus Found in Pirates Online (Merged)

[micromouse]

I SINCERELY doubt that the sheur2.QLA Trojan Threat error mysteriously appeared on your screen "before, and a couple of friends." See there is no such thing as a Trojan signature named "sheur2.QLA". That warning is a generic message caused by the bloodhound heuristics of AVG interpreting a file it sees as potentially dangerous. Did you have AVG installed and running when you saw the messages? Did your couple of other friends also just happen to have AVG running on their systems?? Because those conditions would need to be met for what you just said to be true.

I think what you're referring to is actually a problem that happened LAST YEAR where AVG was detecting Toontown's Launcher1 as a problem but AVG updated their virus definitions and that problem was resolved. This sheur2.QLA thing is brand new and outside of this single forum entry, Google can't find a single other instance of it on the net. In fact, when I went to AVG's own site and searched for the error THERE, a search of their own virus definitions came up with nothing. So I think something between Disney's launcher program and AVG has gone awry again and technical support needs to be notified NOW!

Why are you telling people to load up Spybot Search and Destroy? What exactly are they supposed to be scanning? Can you specifiy a file or directory? If something is found, what are you instructing them to delete? "IT"??? Delete WHAT!?

I'm opening a trouble ticket with Disney's technical support right now to find out what's REALLY going on and I'm pretty sure we'll see yet another updated definitions file come out of AVG this week so the problem can be fixed again.

In the meantime...you're welcome to Search and Destroy all you like...but without more specific information from Mr. Swashbuckler there, I think you'll likely be chasing phantoms and ghosts and just make your life unnecessarily miserable since you have no idea WHAT to scan or delete. Please do me a favor and open a trouble ticket as well so they see it's affecting multiple users and not just one. The URL to open a ticket with them is here: BugSubmitReport
