chaseandsam.com — Multiple users of World of Warcraft and AVG antivirus are having issues with the most recent Warcraft patch distributed by Blizzard. AVG is identifying Fmod.dll as Trojan horse Generic5.jmy, and the Warcraft forums are swamped with people seeking information. Site contains pic of the possible Trojan discovery, and links to multiple forum posts.

Updated 5 minutes ago with more information and a fix for those running Windows Vista. At this point it looks like this is a false positive by AVG

Yeah...this happened to me today while attempting to launch WOW (on vista). But, before I found your post, I tried to download the fmod.dll by itself from another site. The launcher executed, but when attempting to login, the UI pops up telling me my version of WOW can't be verified. So now I'll restore the original dll from the virus chest and follow your fix. Thanks for the info!

Update #3 Added a direct FTP link to Blizzard's site in order to download (and replace) the Fmod.dll file. Also included some quotes from Blizzard employees about the situation. AFAIK, still waiting for a fixed update from AVG. Will post when it comes in.

Final update - Solution to issue posted to this website - AVG has released a definition update to their program which should fix the issue.

Actually here's one more update: AVG is currently identifying GoogleDesktopUpdate.exe and GoogleDesktopSetup.exe as Trojan horse generic5.jjp. Is this an amazing coincidence, or has AVG published an update with yet another false positive? We're working on the solution and will post information shortly. At this point, please note that it's not a good idea to delete those GoogleDesktop files until we know if this is a false positive or not - deleting them could cause problems on your computer!
