Virus in WE Unlimited?

[Spectre4802]

A couple of days ago, my Antivirus (Avira) alerted me that there was a trojan in my computer, and it happened every time I started up the editor.

Does anybody else have this problem?

No one else uses WEU so your going to have some trouble with such a request (WEU is outdated and buggy, you shouldn't use it anyways)

 

[takakenji]

WEU is outdated and old and nobody uses, like wherewolf said, you'll have trouble finding someone with the same problem.

I'm using JNGP integrated with WEU... and have no problem... :<

WEU was awful tool to be used and could corrupt map easily.

As for the anti-virus, I can explain it to you.

JNGP and WEU inject his own code into the process of WE. Most tools allow to setup an exception for such cases, some have to be turned off though (like Kaspersky)

Avira Antivir detects several of the files as trojans, you can choose ignore for the reports and whitelist those files later to fix the problem. (Extras\Configuration, activate export mode, under both Scanner\Scan\Exceptions and Guard\Scan\Exceptions add the offending files to the list)

Why is the tool in the tools section if it's no longer usable?

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well it is technically usable - just not practical

Well you guys should know that its map enhancer (the edit map button) is useful to manage your imports and edit the tileset.

And to answer the first question theres no virus.

The only thing I found is useful in it was the Tileset editor which is less buggy then the JNG one. That's still not a valid enough excuse for the inflated filesize it adds to your maps though

The JNGP tile editor doesnt work except you've got warcraft dual installed.

 

[Septimus]

It is still a joke to use WEU!!!

You can still use it if you want, but you have a high chances to risk your map for being corrupted.

 

[Spectre4802]

Wow, alright then. WEU is not the way to go.

Since that's the case, is JNGP the way to go for a different editor?

The anti-virus programs will yell at you mainly with JASSNewGenPack. Until now, I hadn't read about anyone having virus reports with WEU. If you downloaded from The Hive or their official website, it should be a false positive.

 

[takakenji]

yeah, get JNPG.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

JNG is really most useful if your either going to use vJass coding or make a huge a$$ map. If you don't need any of this then the normal editor will suffice, it's the only one thats completely bug and hassle free.

Thanks for all of that, everyone.
