i could of sworn, someone yesterday posted this, jsut less descriptive Listing: L>Active Friendly Friends
yay thank you :D
I only use AVG.
ad-aware 2008 for me :D
So this means, that this "Trojan" is safe? Also, today, GameGuard had an update, is that update about the "trojan"? o.o
gowitdaflow said: "ad-aware 2008 for me :D" Bad idea. Ad-aware is an antispyware program. One should never have an antispyware program to replace an antiVIRUS program. Both are necessary as both detect entirely different things.
MS.exe, for your convenience.Apologies if it doesn't work. Srsly. I might work.. ._. It will save a lot of time for download..
OMG! like thanks but I havent tried yet. But so far so good =D(Edit: Btw I still had my MSsetup will it still work cause I'm like installing and it keeps saying my anti-virus not letting it go)0-0

To anyone who has probelms still: Update Avast and it should work now.

... lol.No comment. Of course, this is exactly what I said, just a shorter TS; as well, in my thread, I assume that other people don't automatically install their game to C:NexonMapleStory. 'cause yeah. you know. I'm sure we all know someone got this from SOMEONE'S thread, and from SOMEONE'S suggestive report. >.> |
