I did a virus scan on the Gravity Folder, and found the launcher for RMS server (2008-01-02a.exe) a virus, along with Ragexe and Sakexe. Any idea what could have caused RO to bu suddenly listed as a virus program? I'm using AVG7.5 by the way.

Bad program?
bad virus definitions?

Must have been that fake speed hack you downloaded...

[justforfun]

Speedhack? What is that?

Anyway, it was all fine yesterday. I clicked to start the RMS server today and got a virus warning, next thing they moved all RAGEXE and ROEXE files to the vault.

I'm beginning to suspect AVG 7.5 messed up again.

By the way, its all Ragnarok related, I didn't pick up any weird programs other than that. No programs were installed/downloaded since last year, and I just updated the virus scanner.

I'm getting the same problem

Anyway I confirmed it with a friend who use AVG. AVG is definitely behind all these.

EDIT: Official Announcement from iRO GM and AVG themselves. Read the following link:

If your using AVG Anti-Virus, just turn off the resident shield and you can play again. But be warned: your PC may be infected with all types of REAL viruses.

Edit: I fixed mine when I'ved download the latest patch manually. That's all.

AVG is known for their false positives. Just keep playing.

And McAfee is known to just be wrong entirely.
Get NOD32/ ESET

Well, if it didn't stop me from playing, I wouldn't have been here haha. Guess they can "fish" up things real bad.

May I know how do you prevent it from auto-launch after Windows started?

By the way, for others with such a problem, after reinstalling WITHOUT AVG (for testing purposes), I still get the message "Game executable failed to launch -ro.exe"

[Relics]

Start > Run.. > Msconfig > Boot

Should be on that list

[Guest]

oh and ya AVG = totally infamous for detecting false positives
