<p>I have just freshly reformatted (deleted all partitions too), EQ2 being the first thing I installed after Trend Micro Internet Security/Malwarebytes/Firefox/Adblock Plus+ NoScript.  I did a scan after patching EQ2 and Trend found the TROJ_SPNR.03CI11 trojan supposedly attached to the EQ2 exe file.</p><p>Has anyone else gotten this message?  I just got rid of Norton Internet Security because it was running pretty bloated  (as Norton will do), and replaced it with this new Trend Micro Internet Security.</p><p>I hope my 80 bucks for the 3-user wasn't better served being thrown into the trash can here.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Never heard of Trend Micro but that's not surprising since I don't put any stock in any sort of anti-virus software.</p><p>I'm not sure what your question is though, there's obviously no trojans attached to EQ2.</p>

<p>Don't put too much stock into antivirus software. A few months back I did a clean install and ran one right-a-way and it picked up on something. I reported it to the development team on their site and they did get back to me that it was indeed a false positive.</p><p>Just be careful is all.</p>

<p>I can assure you EQ2 is not a trojan <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Does updating your definitions stop the warning?</p>
