crazy launchpad issue

[staho epoch]

Well, it looks like my computer was given a virus somehow through the launchpad and now I had to uninstall everything SWG, SOE related. A few weeks ago I logged onto SWG for the first time in a long time and the Launchpad downloaded an update before launching the SWG station login screen. THe file was called LaunchPad_Delta or something, and it put a new launchpad in my Sony folder called "_aunchPad.exe".

 

Next, the program was on a cycle/loop and it just kept downloading dbghelp.dll and after a long time of punching things I realized that a program called "Program" was put into my C: drive. THis program would Override my anti-virus and then go on to destroy all my schoolwork ive been working on for weeks. I tried reinstalling launchpad, deleting it from the registry, everything to get rid of the dang thing, but it still kept happening regardless.

 

I have no idea why this happened, how this happened, and why it chose to happen now. I am severely upset and I won't be able to play SWG for at least two weeks because I am not reinstalling SWG and waiting for hours for it download up to patch 27. I would rather wait till my next paycheck and spend 20 dollars on the new starter kit.

 

I really hope that by installing the new starter kit that this problem will disappear. If it does not go away, I will not be playing SWG ever again. Sorry, but I am still feeling the pain of Finals Week in college and I'm just...i dont know...on edge. Hopefully things will work out and I'll keep everyone updated.

The same thing happened to me but I borrowed my bros starter kit and it stopped.

I wasnt very happy either
