Wow whats very ironic is just yesterday my browser was running slow (lag in scrolling pages and clicking links) so i closed my advloader and it began to run faster. But other then that my pc never ran that show while having advloader/bw open...Seems odd that it just started to do it yesterday..I ran CrapCleaner and seemed to be fine with everything. I was thinking about a defrag but I had just done one of those not even 2 weeks ago.

For you guys having problems, you can run advloader plugins with chaoslauncher. Just install adv then install chaos in a different folder, you can then delete the advloader.exe if you want because you only need the plugins.

I downloaded it and now my laptop is all screwed up, does anyone know some good free virus poretection websites? Also my other computer has it and there arent any viruses on it, is that just luck or what? Also, are there any other programs like advloader, that tell you the APM's and stuff like that? Is this a problem with the whole program or is it just corrupted from the link?
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

The only people i've seen it affecting are people who dont have antivirus installed. Maybe SMK designed a trojan to infect stupid people..

The virus could be a dll which is being attached to your AVloader exe. there is a place (maybe several but I only know of one) in the registry where dlls can be set to auto attach to every program run on your computer. I'd advise doing more research to figure out the source before going around pointing fingers. If you just recently installed the anti-virus its highly likely the malware has been on your computer for a considerable amount of time.

Lol, just look at the first post :D
File name: C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\... << there is a virus
Threat name: Win32/Heir
And at the bottom - C:\Program Files\StarCraft\AdvLoader\AdvLoader.exe
Where information, that AdvLoader.exe is a virus ? :D I just watch, that C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\... - virus(threat).

Look at the next picture - SpyBot detects a virus "C:\Program Files\QdrModule\QdrModule15.exe" - sorry, but how it depends with AdvLoader ? May be QdrModule15.exe sounds like AdvLoader.exe ? :D

P.S. i have Nod32(btw best antivirus) and SpyBot - i have no problems with AdvLoader.
Btw, if you have old version of InternetExplorer(4.0 for example) or you have XP without ServicePack2 installed... your computer is already overflowed by viruses - that for sure ;-)

I had a completely unupdated XP for some years, even without a scanner. And never got anything

if your computer is running slow it is probably just dust, there are plenty of sites online telling you how to clean inside your computer, the main things to remember whenever working in your case is to be grounded and try to avoid getting oily fingers on anything and also not bringing anything with a static charge close (ground yourself and dont use a vacuum)

It not a reason to pride. ;-) If viruses is not visible, it does not mean that they are not exists.

Hrmm i doubt it's dust bro....I air spray my tower like once every couple of months...Plus it was just ironic that once i closed out my advloader it seemed to clear up the lagness I was experiencing with my browser...I use firefox to...

I just turned on ChaosLauncher. It asked if I wanted to update RWAPlayer (or Recorder, didn't notice) from 0.3.0.0 to 0.3.0.0 I figured why not, said yes. On restart, AVG popped up saying a Trojan had been found in chaosupdater.exe. I healed it, and now it won't start.

Anyone else?

Methinks it might be possible another program is infecting ADVLoader and ChaosLauncher? Is this possible? Like maybe some kind of sketchy BW Program, Oblivion (or other hacks) are modifying these programs? Is this possible? If it were, it would both explain why this is only happening to some people, and why they wouldn't admit it... Could also be that the program randomly chooses whether or not to go virus mode (like random chance 1 in 200 of going infectious) just to avoid suspicion.

I don't know. It's all very weird and unnerving. So far my computer has been acting normally though.

That's almost 99% assuredly not the case. ChaosLauncher is "detected" as having a trojan because it can auto-update itself, and virus scanners see that as a "virusy" thing to do. I don't know whats happening with AdvLoader, however.

I've only recently been getting viruses detected while running ADVLoader. I don't know why they started, but man this sucks. I loved that program

Yeah that's not really true. if you go to sites to download free shit and look at porn you are most likely going to get a virus... But if you don't you will most likely NOT get a virus. :D
