Trojan malware targets SH3 utils.dll

[Dave Kay]

Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU~!

Was not looking forward to a reinstall as I only recently did this along with GWX and SH3 Commander.

Now to the Starforce fix

There is no guarantee, implied or otherwise, that this will work, but I just plucked my best guess out the air.

Let us know how you get on.

Sh3 seems like an unlikely target, sure its not a false positive?

I'm sorry, Dave, but I don't knoe how to interpret your response. Do you mean that, sure enough, TG626 is right and it WAS a false positive, or that you are sure enough (that is, convinced) that it WAS NOT a false positive?

YES--- I meant that it seems Malwarebytes WAS giving false positive and file was not malware. When it quarantines a file it gives you the option to restore the file but when I did that option as soon as I tried to start SH3 again it quarantined the file again and game won't start. After that your only other option is to delete it. So the fix was to slip a clean backup utils.dll into SH3's folder and tell Malwarebytes, in a separate tab-option, to specifically ignore that file.

Now my game starts and plays perfectly and all seems well. Well I say because I haven't been 'attacked' by anything--- yet~!
