Title: SA:MP virus?
Post by: Mafs on August 11, 2010, 02:58:29 pm: Hey guys, wanted to fire up SA:MP a minute ago. Told me the link was invalid, fine downloaded the SA:MP client from the website, installed it and bam! AVG found a trojan generic horse in the SA:MP folder. Cannot acces SA:MP because it is blocked, should I be worried about the trojan horse or?

Post by: tiderman on August 11, 2010, 03:03:35 pm: yeah you should probably delete system32 its the only way that you can be sure hurr durr

If you downloaded the client at the SA:MP website there shouldn't be any problems. It's probably just your AVG that's acting up

Post by: Mafs on August 11, 2010, 03:08:50 pm: AVG has always worked fine for me, gave clearance to the GTA SA folder and I can now acces SA:MP again, bit strange though.
