Patch 2.4.1 Trojan Problems

Posted 1st Apr 2008 06:15 PM by Maticus

A handful of people on the US official forums are reporting trojan issues when downloading patch 2.4.1.

As someone pointed out, Blizz rarely release a patch that ends in .1, and there’s the added “coincidence” that it’s 2.4.1, note the date. Obviously Blizz would never worry their customers with a joke like this, but no one’s sure what’s going on right now. A blizzard poster has confirmed that 2.4.1 is genuine, but people are still experiencing these trojan warnings. Have you had any such trouble while downloading 2.4.1?

UPDATE: We’ve been contacted by a number of forum users who assure us that the warning is a false positive, brought on by over-keen Anti Virus programs. If you do receive this warning during/just after downloading patch 2.4.1, rest assured you probably have nothing to worry about.

For the readers on this site, If you get this Trojan Alert it’s a false positive and should be treat as such.  Blizzard does not release Virus Infected patches ever.

Trojanz are in mah computa loggin mah keyz.

But yea for some reason every patch that ends with .1 always makes anti virus programs pop up with false positives. (Maybe theres some technical reason way beyond me why!)
