TS Virus Warning

    Hey guys, last night I turned on my teamspeak before shutting off Mcafee. Mcafee threw a small fit warning me there was a virus in the file keypress.dll when I opened up teamspeak. The virus was PWS-Wexd.dll.

    I uninstalled teamspeak this morn, downloaded the latest and reinstalled, during my installation Mcafee choked on the same file claiming it to be a virus again.

    Any thoughts from the GRB crew on this?

    Sorry I wasn't logged in but that is my question.

    Nice... Most likely it is just an err in McAfee's signature lookup process... Notifying NAI is the best option for this. If keypress.dll does not contain a virus, but has the same signatures of that virus, NAI can put the updates in the next SDAT that they release.

    There is a thread in the TS forums regarding this. They have a keypress.dll to download that has solved the issue for many. Make sure that you read the thread through. There are a couple of links to the dll, and I am not clear as to which one to use.

    OK so here seems to be the deal. This file for some reason tips mcafee off. It is a false positive on mcafees part. In March when this first starting happening, Mcafee fixed their defs to not make the false positive. Seems yesterday when mcafee released their new defs they forgot about this file thus more false positives. If you need an updated copy of this dll let me know I'll email it. If Mcafee claims your file is a virus ignore it. THanks for your help all, I have TS running again, now to update my SB Live Drivers so it doesn't sound like static when I talk

    Yeah, mcafee delete the dll on my system too. Didn't appear to mess with TS though. It worked without it. but I'll get the new dll just to be safe.
