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.

I had seen some other solutions, probably some of yours too, but hadn't tried any. I just added the file listed by the trojan alert to the exceptions list. __________________________________________________ tjandeni said: "I've followed all steps but i still get the trojan horse detection when i click on maple" Please screenshot the trojan horse alert by avast. It will show which file needs to be added to the exception list.
:[ my maplefiles are in :D should i change :C to :D then?o.o
PUT THE PATH OF YOUR MAPLESTORY FOLDER/EXECUTABLE.If it's C:\Nexon\MapleStory\MapleStory.exe, put that. If it's D:\, put that.
Tjandi, you likely have a different route to get to your maplestory.exe. Make sure that the C:blahblahblahmaplestory.exe actually goes to the right folder. o-oAs for the fix, 's nice someone posted it. No clue why I didn't. o_o Probably because I don't basil enough.
I don't use virus programs, and I haven't got any virus (knocks wood). I just don't go on sites that may be risky.

How do you know you haven't got a virus if you don't use them? o_o You may have them, and just not notice. (not all virus cause pop ups or stuff, some just steal your bandwidth or the like)
It worked Thanks mindstormer xD
Theres another folder that comes up for certain people. When you click on maplestory and the avast thing comes up look on the bottom right and theres going to be a yellow/blueish box with a folder name. Write it down and then add it to the list of things for avast not to scan.
tjandeni said: "It worked Thanks mindstormer xD" Great, I'll make a note on the drive for any other users running off another hard drive. I've added a few more things and tweaked the instructions. Hopefully everything is as understandable as possible now. Thanks yennefer for the tip on removing it from the Virus chest. I hadn't thought of that.
I think I did it right but it still keeps telling me that I have a virus? =/Okay I've gone through the step twice (once with c&p and also by typing it in) and I double checked that maplestory is in C: and it definitely still won't work >:[ And I had added and restored it from the chest New Blog: I'm thinking about starting a new trend
secure said: "^ post above: norton, you can't be srs Or just not use MapleStory because it destroys your computer with an unremovable rootkit" You sound really sure that NExon is a hacking company, and MapleStory is their way to hack people computers. If you are so sure, may I ask for GOOD proves. New Pic: Woootie <3333
Thanks a bunch mind!
i just wanna say thx mindstormer nd to the other pplwho help make this thread possible. but i am curious, is my computer really infected with a virus?
