    This is actually a false positive caused by the fact that our "MapleLegends.exe" differs from Nex*n's original MapleStory.exe. There used to be a link somewhere of Kimmy submitting our exe to a comprehensive virus scan, which showed us as being clean. I unfortunately can't find it for some reason, I'll try looking for it some more~

    Each new setup we need to submit the file to be whiteflagged. Sometimes it takes a bit longer than nornally but its now approved.

    the only way to efficiently slip in trojans nowadays is by hiding it in the installer. the exe is just the forefront. during the installation itself the trojan was detected. i read the logs during install and the trojan was found during a part of the install where it has todo with the system and 'cat' folders and nothing todo with a maple directory. which is not okay and means its not the exe or files that make the game work in any form and was rather something else installing its way in. (my conclusion), ''theres a reason these servers are permitted and its because they are monitored''

    Feel free to use a "Innosetup" unpacker which shows every single thing the installer does. I recommend "Universal Extractor".
