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.

In order of eventsFirst of all, when I opened MS yesterday, it tried to configure but to no avail, could not find maplestory.msi. Then I uninstalled MS, then tried to remove the Nexon folder, but it said ...npkcmsvc.exe: Access Denied. Lastly, during hours of repeated redownloading and reinstalling, all seemed well until copying new files; an error pops up and says something along the lines of data1.cab is corrupted or missing & I have to Abort, Retry, or Ignore. Or Avast alerts rootkit as a potential threat (even though I've added it to the standard shield's exceptions), then interrupts the installation. I have given up hope to reinstalling any further until a I find a proper way to resolve this problem. In other words, I need help :D
This freaked me out the other day when i tried playing MS ._.I moved it to the chest, and i was planning on deleting and redownloading tonight while i slept, but i guess i'll just do what this wonderful guide says :D

XD" the settings you have on your computer (the one that doenst work) locate where you installed maplestory. and delete the stuff u added, and re-add it again (by following the instructions given by storm) should work again. if not just ask storm for help. =) he'll proberly give better instructions then me. otherwise if that still doesnt work you can always screen shot what u have done and such to seek for the correct solution easier =)
I bet you didn't pay for that, Mindstormer!Btw, nice wallpaper. Looks digtal blasphemy-ish :o

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. >.>" Look at the topic creation date before assuming this was copied. __________________________________________________ PureInferno said: "i deleted ms after the trojan warning when my avira antivir told me now i reinstalled it with the mssetup thing on my comp but it still doesnt work when i click the the new maplestory icon, the small blue small with the authorixing and downloading appear as usual, but then this other box pops up and say something like u ar not online or mapelstory is going through a server check... som1 plx help T^T" That's irrelevant to the problem this topic covers. Try my maplestory problem solutions sticky at the top of the ms tech section, I think I have a few solutions there. __________________________________________________ MakotoYuki said: "In order of events First of all, when I opened MS yesterday, it tried to configure but to no avail, could not find maplestory.msi.

Thank you so much. I was getting annoyed having to turn off Avast each time I went on Maple Story. D; I had clicked around and explored Avast a little bit, but considering it showed extensions there, I wouldn't have thought to put the entire directory listing-thingy. I just woke up. D; |
