Ok I have started trading in a guild, enjoying the extra gold so far, but the guild recommended using Arkadius for maximizing profits etc..

I installed it and let it run, not thinking about it, until Today

My Monthly Full System Scan with Malwarebytes, popped up with "


Malware.Heuristic.2047, E:\USERS\Its Me\DOCUMENTS\ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE\LIVE\ADDONS\ARKADIUSTRADETOOLS\ARKADIUSTRADETOOLSEXPORTS\LUA53.EXE, No Action By User, 1000001, 1163583, 1.0.84231, 0000000000000000000007FF, dds, 02808244, B934C2DAC84D2CDBEC6B29443AE67FC5, A47B12C8139D0C390E5E5A06D60D4FB933E37F3166737C1A4B9ACCB911550954

"

Now it might be a false positive, or it might be real, if anyone knows the developer, possibly they could fix this little OOPS, but until then it's Gone from My System!!

    I'm not using it but did you try to check it online with i.e. www.virustotal.com?

    It's a false positive, probably triggered by the .exe file.

    LOTS of people use that add-on. *IF* there were malware embedded in it there wouldn't be a lone individual [who had never used it before] raising the alarm about it -- the forums would be on fire, AND your guildies wouldn't be recommending it to you.

      I use Arkadius and Malwarebytes (free version) both up to date. Last scan I did was last night and it did not come up with any virus

      Good to Know, I am using the free and the paid versions of Malwarebytes, on a multi boot system, I had checked the results by switching from one OS tot he Other, and they both came up withy the same results...

      Hence the worry!!!

      it was only 1 single file on the Whole system from Both (all 6 Hard Drives / Storage Devices Checked complete) , since the system is for both Work and Play... I do make sure its Clean, nothing worse than getting something in from a customer that kills the whole system!!
