Question - MQ .Exe random name and/or virus detection (obfuscation) (1 Viewer)

[Myysterio]

I have been using RG for like 2 years now and today I got this warning for the first time. Just checking to see if its expected. It popped up when I launched MQ.

That sounds sketchy... Things don't just rename themselves randomly and it was not expected.... I can't even imagine a shitty coder achieving this by accident.

They rename themselves randomly when you don't want something looking for MQbootfile.exe. Renaming the file periodically is a method to avoid detection.

@Fearbringer I am also using BitDefender. Here are my exemptions

g:\daybreak game company\installed games\everquest\eqgame.exe

g:\redguides\macroquest\k0yzxr3g.exe

g:\redguides\macroquest\macroquest.exe

Change the drive letter to wherever you have the files installed.

Hope this help. Happy gaming.
