I have recently noted a higher percentage of "banned jerks" among the population, or i guess, used to be among the population of redguides and I saw that Willy was on that list.

This kind of surprised me as I thought that he had been around for a while. Anyways, I was just curious as to what he did to become that. Anyone know by chance. No reason really, just curious so that I don't do or say anything to ever follow that path because without redguides I'd probly go into some sort of ninja denial on WoW...jk...but I would miss it alot.

Anyone know?
 
The latest version of his WarriorAFK program included a trojan. If you used it, change your password.
 
wow willy did that....I cant believe it I guess that just goes to show ya no matter how much u think u know some one they could turn out to be some one totally diffirent. /sigh whats the world coming to
 
were do u find the list of banned users cause i too im curious y most people were banned?
 
believe me...we don't just ban anyone...the people that are banned are banned for good reasons. And we don't publish a list of banned users...you'd just have to go through the forums and look at peoples titles.

That doesn't exist, but I think I might make one.

You're amongst cheaters and hackers these things do happen, but I wouldn't expect that from some one like Willy.

yea thats basiclly what I meant lol ;) it would be like Cade throwing a virus in his compile just not something u would expect...but I know Cade wouldnt do anything like that hehe
 
Hey guys. This is Willy. I was recently shocked when i couldnt log on to my account. I was then notified via MSN that the program i had created with a friend had a Trojan. I know that Rebot wants everything in his site safe and sound, but i wasnt even notified of the situation. I just scanned the version i have on my computer and there is no such virus. I also have several emails via redguides stating about how flawlessy the program ran. This is why i stressed it IMPERITIVE to contact me if something like this came up.

I dont see how it is possible for the trojan to exist, as it is not on my version. I would like for those of who it caused any inconveniece to contact me and explain the situation. I hope that redbot already removed the thread, and the claims that i supposedly "hacked" accounts are completely bogus. I would have appreciated someone contacting me and explaining the situation. Redbot, i would appreciate you contacting me personally and discussing the situation, including who this happened to and to what ecxtent and what proof there is. I am sorry that something like this happened and if it causes anyone an inconvenience.
 
I don't know anything about the situation, but I can tell ya this:

That afk wow deal you or someone had out recently, when activated, would show up as keylogger/spyware. However, that was only because it was showing up as that since it used your keyboard. I know the program had nothing malicious in it. This is different from the program you're talking about, but it still could be a mistake.
 
From what i understand it was claimed that it allowed me to "hack" into peoples accounts, but i was never notified of the situation so i know as little of you. I understand everyone being mad but im kind of disappointed that it worked out this way and that any trust i had gained was totally disregaurded in the situation. I would really like some proof of these claims. How a simple script that simply repeats itself over and over.. with only 3 lines of coding could contain something as massive as a trojan is unbeknownst to me. It simply allowed for the number "1" key in wow to be pressed over and over, allowing the player to not go AFK. Regaurdless, i recommend not using the program and deleting it from your computer and running antivirues/ spyware until this situation is resolved. Again, i apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. I encourage any and all to post their thoughts here, as i would appreciate any feedback on the situation.
 
Well, if no one's account has been hijacked yet, then i'd say it would be safe to unban willy. My brother says warriorafk was his best friend and he was really sad when i had to tell him what happened, he doesnt' even have avgfree on his computer. The warriorafk bot is very simple, and can be done with any macro prorgram. (like www.macroexpress.com)


I haven't heard of anyone's account being hijacked yet though, so there is room to believe willy.

edit: also i think that if willy did it intentionally he wouldn't make a new account and reveal his identity - i think he would know that he would get his sn banned from redguides.

.... So no response to my post?

Sorry Willy...

Not trying to ignore your post, I personally don't bot, so I never used your program and have no idea about what happened. Honestly, you seem like your telling the truth and I hope that you are. I don't have any power to ban or unban you, I was only curious as to why you were banned because you always seemed to be a good redguider.

So good luck on what happens...
 
Warrior afk = purpfast

And thanks to those who are responding and putting in their input. I appreciate it. Ive still havent been told who said they got this "virus" and the damage done, i would really appreciate them contacting me.

Thanks RedBema, I appreciate it. I hope as much as you do if not more this mess gets sorted out.
 
Willy, the first file in the WarriorAFK thread that you attached showed up as having a trojan with the following scanner:

http://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/

The trojan shows up as:

Clicker.Win32.Small.ht

It did not show up on any of my personal scanners (AVG by Grisoft) which is why I initially disregarded the PM's from people claiming to have their accounts hacked. We've had trojans and virii posted here before, and if someone posts one, they get banned. No warnings.

From YOU though, it was weird seeing it. I'm sending you an e-mail now.

Yeah, it shows up as a "clicker" class trojan... thats because what it is designed to do. The scanner may pick it up as a trojan becuase your computers software is not commanding the keyboard via you touching the keys, but via the afk program. That is a common misconception, that the clicker program is indeed a virus of some kind. Its just your computer worried because your keyboard is clicking the 1 button over and over without you pressing the key.

I wasnt aware that some scanners picked up the program as a trojan, that is why i begged people to let me know if anything came up. Many of my guild mates got accounts stolen by downloading the program off Alakazham, that allowed people to track account info. This was a full blown program that allowed this, not a 3 line command script. There are Many MANY other ways to make yourself susceptible to viruses and getting jacked, that is why you should scan every file before you allow it to run on your computer. This can be said for things like mods, movies, and anything else you download regualrily. Ive even heard of fake patches that contained viral material.

But Red, I do understand if you dont want me back. I realize the overall safety of your site and its memebers is far more important then the access of one person. Whatever your decision may be i respect and understand it.
 
I really couldnt believe it myself..I would never think Willy would ever do something like that. I think by what he is saying and how sincere he is acting hes telling the truth. I dont even play wow or know what the coding looked like for this macro but I do Know Willy has been around these boards for awhile and has made many of us laugh with his odd posts ;) and weird avatar lol and I just would never think of him doing anything like this even after creed posted what happened on the first page here. I for one believe ya Willy after reading what u have since posted...I also gotta state only u wouls make a user as ... LoL
 
I never used or saw the coding but i trust willy on this one and as kyle said if he had indeed purposely put a trojan horse on his anti afk he would not come back and tell us it was him speaking through ...
 
purp fast didnt do anything for me except keep my char in game,
when i first ran it, it said that a 3rd party program was trying to take control of my keyboard, but it is supposed to do that to keep you from going AFK, it makes sense that people wouldn't be able to figure it out on their own that it was acting as intended and it didnt actually hack accounts

Wow, that makes sense even to me.

Friends? :o

I was unaware of any of these nasty things as i wasnt able to log onto the forums, but if you mean "nasty" in the way im thinking i beleive we can be more than friends again Skep.... (/wink wink)
 
Willy if your still following this thread please check the email connected to it. I can help clue you in on some of the details of what happened, Red can help I think as well.

Willy, would you mind reposting the purpfast.exe file? I deleted it earlier, thinking it had a virus,
 
Willy, sorry about that, and I'll continue the apology in an anouncement to the WoW forums.
 
Dont worry about it. I learned a lesson, and the safety of your site obviously comes first.

Im actually kind of excited to read the thread that all this spurred from, i hear its pretty good.
 
Welcome back Willy...even though I don't give a damn if you're here or not...
