Having downloaded and given Avast a try, here's how to fix this problem:
1. Double Click on the Avast icon. Screenshot
2. In the "avast! On-Access Scanner" window that opens, click "Details". Screenshot
3. Scroll down to "Standard Shield". Screenshot
4. Click "Customize..." Screenshot
5. On the "Advanced" tab, click "Add" Screenshot
6. Type in: "C:\Nexon\Maplestory\Maplestory.exe" and then click ok on each window. Screenshot
Where "C" is the letter of the hard drive on which your maplestory installation is installed. Those with Maplestory installed on "Local Disk D:" for example must replace "C" with "D"
7. Happy Mapling! Screenshot

In the unlikely case that the problem persists, please post a screenshot of the trojan popup given by avast.

If you accidentally added maplestory.exe to the virus chest when you first go this Trojan Horse alert, here is how to restore the file:
1. Right click the Avast icon.
2. Select "Start avast! Antivirus"
3. Once it opens, click on the virus chest icon. (If you aren't sure which it is, hover over each button for a popup with the name/description)
4. In the avast! Virus Chest window that opens, right click on the "Maplestory.exe" entry and select "Restore".
(Sorry, no screenshots this time).

If you accidentally deleted maplestory.exe when you first got this Trojan Horse alert, you will need to reinstall maplestory:
Direct link to mssetup.exe for convenience: link

Much appreciation to all the users who have been helping with this problem up until now.

^ post above: norton, you can't be srs

Or just not use MapleStory because it destroys your computer with an unremovable rootkit

Actually, Avast has often ranked higher than AVG as far as ratings go.

As for norton, it is one of the worst antivirus programs on the market in terms of detection rates of new viruses and memory usage/system slowdown: link link link

I personally like F-Secure or Norman.

Thanks for this, Mindstormer. Avast was pissing me off. >_> I accidentally moved Maplestory.exe to the chest, and now it doesn't even have the mushroom logo anymore. :/ Great, I have to re download it.

I did the same. Just go to Chest, choose Maplestory.exe and "restore". It will go back to its folder ;)

Try following through with the instructions again. You might have missed something. It works perfectly fine for me. Or are you having trouble with any of the steps? If so, which one(s)?

Did you change all of the "/"s to the other slash? The one above the enter key?
