jex · 06-08-2004, 02:54 PM

Norton picked this up today as soon as I tried to run TS.

Thats what kinda stuff you get when dealen with Hookers....

On a serious note.. I don't think that the virus has anything to do directly with Teamspeak. Its just something you contracted along the way that poped up when you opened TS.

I disabled norton last night whilst playing lock on on Hyper Lobby could this be the source? I have Zone Alarm on all the time and then there's this guy

Who seems to have bad things to say about HL. Everyone says he's mad and talking rubbish but now I'm not so sure.

Also as a game officer should we be concerned that my PC has been compromised with regards to login details, etc?

McAfee found that same virus for me like 2 days ago on that same file..I have stopped using TS

two other users over on ubi forums are saying the same thing - same virus when they run teamspeak. Anyone else?

OK it looks like its a false alarm. weatherman from ubi forums posted this

This is a a false alert from the AV software. You should download a new version of the TS client that does not have the keypress.dll name to avoid confusion.

TS has released a new version with new .dll to keep the paranonia down.

I was just wanting to know if this was Norton being paranoid or an actual virus treat inbedded in the software?

Thanks

all looks like its a false signature file from norton/mcAFFE

but to be 100% safe we released that new package...

I was going to post about this last week but I figured I was the only one that didn't know.. LOL

keypress.dll is causing many virus detectors to due strange things. The forums have a zip you can download of just the fixed keypress.dll. There hasn't been a new release without keypress.dll. Incidently, keypress.dll is actually for VOX. I originally just deleted it but it gave me an annoying error everytime I started TS.

I too just got this Virus warning with Norton when I ran Teamspeak.
Same exact warning. Norton picked it up and deleted it.
