General Software Discussion / Generic.dx Trojan
« on: July 13, 2009, 01:23 AM »
Hi, Im new to this site, but I joined because I have an issue I'm not quite sure of...
I've been trying to download a fix for a video game I have on my laptop...Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords...It seems that it doesnt work on windows Vista without a fixed exe file...But the only file I could find came from gamecopyworld.com...and when i scan it, Mcafee tells me that it found a Generic.dx trojan inside and immediately quarantines it...
However, after looking all over the net to find out more info on this trojan, I keep reading that it may be a "false-positive" from Mcafee....So is this a real virus or not? Normally I wouldnt even try to use any infected file, but unfortunately this is the only file that could possibly fix my game...Can anyone please help me here? Is this a real virus, and if so, what does it do? I REALLY want to play this damn game, but I cant afford to infect my computer...Can anyone help me?
