TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen - Avira Virus Lab

So here's how it started I opened the PBE client then logged in and meant to start the** ARURF** game. item 2424 I got transfered into champion select immediately even though I didnt start the game. After the champion select there comes the loading screen but...Avira shows up Trojan virus aka TR/Crypt.XPACK.Gen. I'll leave you the link so you can see what it does to your computer (The link is nothing but Avira's Virus Summary). Then I tried to open client again and see what is happening but nope...You cant reconnect because Trojan doesnt allow you to. So after that,I tried to initiate full repair and PBE client shows NOTHING Kled Can I please get an answer to this? You literally never know what sht~~ comes up every day Internet today is full of viruses and some ~~shts that can ruin your new PC...At least you should know that the average salary in Serbia is $350 so we need to work few months to buy a new PC and some most played game ruins that with viruses? The best way to save your PC is to download from Steam/Origin or if you want to play League that much then just download regular client and NOT PBE . A lot of people are getting their money stolen because of viruses like this...And imagine if you had monthly salary only $350 ... You would rather throw your fuckng~~ PC through the window than play that again. Before you comment some ~~bullsht think about it again.Not all of us are rich and we're just trying to have fun Teemo Since Riot doesn't give a f*ck PBE client,you can go there and have fun by cheating,going away from keyboard,trolling people,flaming and all the other stuff like that summoner 1 feel free because you won't get leave buster or you won't get banned. No one is forcing you to test new things in this game but seriously...To think that most played game will have virus in it's data is unthinkable [zombie-brand-clap] . My english is not that perfect but you should all understand the point of this. I posted this on a bug board because Riot doesnt's even want to give you a good reason to report a problem Zoe

It wasn't the PBE client that gave you the virus. It was either you went on a site that had them or downloaded something you shouldn't have to get the virus. Or, your anti-virus is showing it as a false positive, meaning you have to go through your anti-virus settings and tell it to allow it.

Hello there.

May I ask, do you even know how a trojan works? I am pretty sure its not the PBE client itself that has a virus (since I too have PBE installed and never got a problem with it) but instead, you got a trojan downloaded from somewhere and that trojan has decided to copy/occupy the PBE folder, making it seem like it is riot who's doing this. But I can assure you, it is not, trojans most commonly hide as safe or popular programs in order to not be detected since they do not possess the auto cloning features regular viruses or worms do. So yeah, if you have a trojan in your computer, it is most likely your fault and as such you should take measures into fixing it.

This is happening to me with the regular client, not PBE (although I do have PBE i just haven't updated it for the past few days) I also havent downloaded anything lately so... what should i do?
