Thank you so much Alberto, Eagle, and Overlord.
We own your guys a lot.

Good job guys. I'm assuming you had some program/script that allowed you to find/alerted you about any files changed/added, etc, and worked it from there? Or something, just a guess. ;P

Nope, I didn't have anything like that, at first I didn't suspect much of TSF Warper, because Initcent never ran, till I opened Msacdlg.exe many times, so. :P

By the way, this "virus" is not a virus at all. It is classified as a weak trojan horse invasion (in case you wanted to rename it). Good job on finding it.

We already found it Derby.

I am aware. You have posted it in another topic. I am just clearing up the misconception that it is a virus.

Good job .

Have you already got an idea who could have made this?

No, not yet, actually Unknown is the one who could know who he is, because he saw someone saying the Omega stuff.

All what we know is that is an UT player for sure.

OK.

Hmm....the UT stuff...this is also the text when you choose "Godlike" as botskill: "I am the Alpha and the Omega"...

Whoa, it took 5 pages on JCF to solve how to get rid of it, slowpokes

You could have helped them more .

Well ive had Initcent And it was really (making me mad)
well how i got warper was in an e mail which i received

That's right. This Piccolo has been around for a very long time, even before he joined CC he has been on my ICQ list for a loooong time.

Everyone says he'd be the original one...

Looser, Ive found out who it was :P Its some guy called Neo3 or Meo3 something like that. Its at tha j2hg Message Board.

That was EO3 and it was a joke.
Ask Link if you don't belive me.

Strange Joke huh

¬_¬ EO3.. I will eat you alive

EO3 is called "OMEGA 3". Go to J2HG site and go to the forums. After that, find the topic. Because the site is OFFLINE, I can't link you to the topic but I will link you straight to the topic when the site goes back online. Cuz I dunno the link to the Topic in the J2HG forums I will edit the post when the site is online.

Oh well, You didnt read the whole thread I think, anyway we also know it isnt a virus, but we just call it so.

waking up old thread...

I would give a warning for this. Too bad Im not an admin.

Indeed. Also, it doesn't make sence and it's just to get your imaginary post count up.

This whole topic was even better than a movie, I wish to see more breathtaking topics like this. Goodjob ppl, and im glad the virus is over.

The virus, which was not actually a virus, was over last June. ;-P

Anyway, to make this post have a point:
No one has been infected with this Trojan since it originally appeared. The mass-mailing was the only spread there was, other than for testing reasons. The Trojan, which was more or less non-damaging, is now pretty much obsolete. While no antivirus program detects it, there is a very low chance that this Trojan will ever appear again. The only remaining copies are controlled ones and the Trojan probably is not active on anyone's computers any longer. Yay.

This is a revived topic. There was no reason for you to just say that you wanted to wake up an old thread.

As for the virus itself, as Trafton said, it is gone.

Boy the virus lasted 2 months, that's crazy.

It lasted for a lot less time than that...it's just that it took a while to note the behavior of the Trojan. It was only a threat for a week, maybe less.

This "virus" has been going around for a looooooonnnnnnnggggg time, it was originally distrubuted via an email from someone called Worlord inside a TSF/1.23 Megawarp. Once run the "virus" is copied into your c:\windows dirctory it could be yours %system% folder but I'm pretty sure its Windows. it then makes two files of itself, one, which does sll the memory editing has a random 4 character (plus .exe) name, the other is called mscdlg.exe or somthing along those lines (its been a long time), this one restarts the first program if it is ended(in win98/me the first program will appear in the task menu as Initcent) and remakes a new randomly named copy if it is deleated. To get rid of this "virus" you must deleate the mscdlg.exe file. I'm not sure if you need to end its task or not (it may only run on startup or when the other file is unloaded). I beleive you can stop it from starting up by unchecking it in the startup tab of msconfig (choose run from the start menu and type in msconfig).
This "virus" does a variety of extremly annoying things to JJ2 but seems to effect nothing else. Here is a list of what it is known to do:
Randomly warp you to a random location in the level occasioanlly.
Occasionally change the ammount of roasts/points/gems needed to win a game.
Occasionally LOCALY rename other players in a game to innapropreate words/phrases.

I hope this information hopes you get rid of the "Virus," Initcent.

BTW, SSB CC Piccolo IS the original and true piccolo, the others are the copycats :P

That is useful information...too bad we did not have it when we were searching for the person who sent it. ;-P

Trafton, Crono already said everything you just said in the quote. Hmm, well I never play JJ2 that much anymore, guess i've lost my interest. So I was probably away from JJ2 the time of this virus.

I was a way as well. Also, this virus is a part of history of jj2, people should read it and see what happend at jj2 in the past. ITs very fun to read actually.

This is the 200th post here btw. I claim page

Don't revive old threads the Winner. If this behaviour lasts I will have to give a warning.

Haha this topis is one of the topics with the most replies in General Jazz 2 Talk.
