Is TESO infected?

After playing long sessions of TESO I'm finding a Hao123 icon on my desktop, a Baudu folder in Documents and the homepage for all my browsers set to HAO123 (Baidu).
It could be coincidence but it's only ever happened after play TESO!

✭✭✭✭✭Pure coincidence.
ESO might have a few many flaws and issues but spyware/malware isn't one of them.

✭✭✭✭✭That sounds like some nasty has got in and changed your browser settings. These can be a pig to get rid of because the webpages they direct to usually contain more and different nasties.

I think if there was an issue with this then more people would have reported it by now.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

✭✭✭✭✭Other alternative is that you were browsing a website maybe that had something dubious on it and that somehow infected the launcher files/folder in some way?
After all the launcher is a sort of browser in a way I suppose ....Shunrr's Skooma Oasis - The Movie. A housing video like no other ...

Flameheart✭✭✭✭✭Downloaded TES Skyrim mods from exotic chinese sources ? :-)
Fun aside, many applications you download somewhere for free, will ask (if they are polite...) you in the installation menu, if you want to install a bonus application. You just need to uncheck a box. Many users just click "ok" and go on.
Some not so polite applications won't ask you, but just install stuff you don't want.
HAO123 Baidu is a popular chinese browser (if not the only one, rubber-stamped by the ZK) as far as I know.
Usually finding and deinstalling the .exe in your programs (system folder -> programs/applications and features) and the addon (toolbar) in your browser should solve the issue, if not try anti-malware software like adwarecleaner etc.Edited by Flameheart on September 22, 2015 10:50AMSometimes the prey turns and nips us... it's a small thing.

✭✭✭✭✭Sort of browser - in that it facilitates a sort of connection to the internet in terms of connecting the game and updating that news feed thing it has.

The launcher of Lord of the Rings Online was actually using bits of the MS internet explorer. Had a weird problem with IE once and couldn't start or patch the game anymore...Took me a while to figure that one out, especially because I wasn't even using IE and didn't realize there was something wrong with it.0 -

✭I got my first PC around 19 to 20 years ago and being 61 now you would expect Alzheimer to be kicking in. But the point am making I have never been infected by a virus or Trojan (knocks on wood) yet.
There are so many great programs out there today that can protect you, yet so many can't use the best one they have, your brain of investigation.
