The DSL download in Sages sig has the virus "Win32PowerRegScheduler" which is very difficult to remove. The virus appears on my computer whenever I download DSL from sages sig.

EDIT: Also in the virus details (it tells me stuff about it when its deleted) It said it originated from the DSL folder.

Don't suppose you know what that virus does?

SAGE!!!

Are you trying to force us to play stock by infecting all who play DSL?

EDIT: on a more serious note....

I've got a virus free version of DSL if anyone wants to host it somewhere.

Heyyyyy I think my antivirus deleted some file from DSL a while back...name seems pretty close from what I remember.

I just scanned a DSL file I downloaded from sages sig not that long ago, and AVG found nothing, when did you download yours stagfish?

Stagfish · « **Reply #6 on:** November 12, 2010, 01:41:33 PM »

I downloaded mine half an hour ago, the first time I downloaded it was a couple of months back I got the same virus.

Hmmm, interesting then.
Are their any noticable effects of the virus?

I just downloaded another version a few days ago from Sage's sig and nothing about a virus appeared.

PowerRegScheduler is a product registration system used by some legitimate software programs. It collects demographic data for vendors who use PowerRegScheduler as a product registration reminder. PowerRegScheduler collects data such as your name, address, e-mail, place of purchase, product serial number, etc. This data is transmitted to PowerRegScheduler servers and is then made available to the manufacturer of the purchased product.

PowerRegScheduler commonly installs itself to the current and global users' startup folders, using the filename "powerreg scheduler<version>.exe" or "powerreg scheduler.exe".

The program may also modify the registry in order to run automatically each time Windows starts:
Creates value: PowerReg Scheduler
With data: <path>\PowerReg SchedulerV2.exe
in subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

PowerRegScheduler may remain on the computer after the product registration task has been completed.

Ah, that sounds quite nasty, does anybody know where the DSL download on sages sig is hosted?

Also, offtopic, who keeps rating me down, if you have a problem with something I say just say it.

I got this, easily got around by using system restore and restoring it to a week ago, yet it somehow kept DSL and removed the virus. Try that.

Windows Security Essentials easily deleted it.

This could be what Wafflez is talking about, he downloaded DSL from Sage's sig and now he has a virus... I thought it was from something else (he's been bugging me about the virus for the past two weeks at school), but now I see it's from this. Thank god that's cleared up.

dose it affect the game. AVG finds nothing but after about 2 days i have to uppack a new copy from the .rar due to not being able to run any exhibition matches with a human bot. well it realy just gives me no bot preview and picks a random bot from a random team of mine. any free AVs to get rid of it?

Stagfish · « **Reply #15 on:** November 12, 2010, 04:03:52 PM »

Windows security essentials works, and its free.

EVERYBODY CALM THE F--- DOWN

It's the infogrames registration tool. False positive. Oh, and you can delete it by right clicking it and selecting "Delete". Big bloody deal.

Or you can just not run it, but apparently you're too stupid for that and have the habit of clicking on every .exe you see.

Sage · « **Reply #18 on:** November 12, 2010, 05:11:21 PM »

no virus when i download. I'll host it on my ra2 server.

EDIT: it WAS hosted by gametechmods.com. Ill reupload a new version.
