Solution to the Avast/Maplestory Trojan Horse Detection
Maple story Forums : Maple Story Tech Help & Patches : Talk about problems with Maple Story and Patches Thread starter
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.

edit your first link. it's broken.and, if my AV doesnt detect MS as a virus, does it mean it sucks?
Got it. Thnx. New Pic: NEW! Winddrake Drawing

It should show the directory of the file it is detecting so you know what to add to the exceptions list. __________________________________________________ kurtz223 said: "i just wanna say thx mindstormer nd to the other ppl who help make this thread possible. but i am curious, is my computer really infected with a virus?" Yes and no. Yes in that gameguard does act like a virus or rootkit since it is blocking hacking software (and sometimes other non-hacking software), no in that it isn't really a virus. __________________________________________________ spikekirby said: "if i were to uninstall avast, start maple, sign on, would the trojan like idk... do whatever it does? o.o" See my above reply. __________________________________________________ 0wnyou2day: Thanks.

MS.exe, for your convenience.Apologies if it doesn't work.
but was there really a trojan horse in maplestory.Cuz i uninstalled Avast and i forgot to put the virus in the chest....T_T
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite ftw? With Kaspersky antivi? :D! New Pic: lame

As Mindstormer has said, GameGaurd acts like a Trojan in the respect that it monitors your computer, but it is NOT a trojan.
THANX MINDSTORMER =D now i can train my ranger again

Just the shortcuts were gone, so what i did was use the installer also known as the MsSetup. During the process it gives u 3 options. Custom(i think) Repair and something else. You click repair, and waala, u can play maple story again :D thanks to Deafend for non intentionally reminding me xD
For mine, using "Restore" did not work. I extracted it instead to the desktop, and manually placed it in my C:/Wizet/MapleStory folder while Avast was stopped. You don't have to redownload/reinstall anything unless you deleted the file. Register / login
