My grandma uses McAfee virus protection and got an alert message the other day saying she had a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). She said the file name was MVV.exe (M V V not MW), She ran a full virus scan and it said the PUP was gone, then an hour later it came back. She got this the second time from opening up AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). Does anyone have an answer or a suggestion for her?



None.

Well I googled mvv.exe and it looks like the file is a trojan downloader. If the virus scan didn't delete the file, maybe you could use search and look for the file itself and delete it.. Or maybe she needs to update her virus definitions? Other than that, I'm unsure of what you could do other than getting a different virus protection program.



None.

Macafee is good but i have a tiny hatred for any security you have to purchase. You can find safe protection for free, granted you sometimes need a few of them it works out. If it is a trojan just find a utility that is specific for trojans.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
