mlka i updjt oni if smt is brokn
Because NCsoft launcher has an update after this maintenance !!! is not logical? why to not make update?
You don't need to update every week. The game will work just fine.
wait till mt end, make repair and update again. Usual don't even start L2 icon till not see post here/fb/twitter the MT is end :)
I start everyday the game from l2 launcher. when launcher have an update, like today , you need to press update if you want to play l2.

I start same but just not start when server's are down, that was my point, you prole have some problem with update server and pc give you virus.
Fairly sure the virus has nothing to do with L2. The only known virus in L2 is Fidgit the clown.
well I start to update launcher and it says 32.1 MB dunno if there is a virus.

I stop the updater as some other ppl have found a virus.
It's not just about if it is a virus. It has something to do with the way they wrote their patch update and some anti-virus programs thinks one of the files is a baaaaaaaaaaadddd virus.


So I will do what was said above and wait til the server comes back up and repair and try it again.
omg could it be, hehe I hope that is a new bot detection system <D (Im dreaming) for those scripts. :):):)
same problem here, the question is not if we need to updated or not.
and how do you start the game if you cant updated?
cos mine doesn't`t work if I don't upgrade..
Ps and if you ck with other virus scanner or malware, you`ll find few more files that are Trojans after trying to updated..:(
no a virus yep right..lol
It could be a false positive...
