Like what kind of name is virus injector? Someone at riot has a sense of humour.

Wolfess4/15/2016, 8:52:22 AM3 votes

someone at riot needs to install malwarebytes and test for shit like this so we, the players, don't have to sit here and deal with the crap that they're making us go through just because what it probably is is mwb picking up the "virus" in the file name and setting off the false positive.

Rito, use your goddamn head.

Same here. Apparently it's a false alert but even when I restored/excluded all files that Malwarebytes had blocked, nothing happens. I deleted 2 main files ("LoL.launcher" + "Lol.air.client"), now it's currently uploading the missing files back.. We'll see.. Hopefully it won't be a problem anymore..

Btw.. What's wrong with the file name ? o.O I thought we had our dose of troll on April's Fool day. Jeez'... [slayer-jinx-unamused]

When your anti malware program tells you to stop playing LoL.

Great. Same thing happened to me. Running scans now.

Gay Gangplank4/15/2016, 4:47:24 AM2 votes

Literally just started happening to me 20 minutes ago... Out of nowhere. I logged off to play a game of Overwatch, came back and now it's blocking me from getting to the login screen.

Bump. I just got this problem myself. I started up the client to play some arams, and malwarebytes stopped me. Didn't do it last night. Found it in the same place as Jasonxhx. It was quarantined and removed, but the notification still pops up when I try running the game. Running scans, and warning buddies that something may be wrong.

Daxterlap4/15/2016, 4:46:45 AM2 votes

What is that ? I just got the same thing ... I hope the support will be able to see what is that ! You , don't think that league actually put virus in our computers , right ?

Xanit4/15/2016, 10:56:43 AM2 votes

Same thing going on here. I really hope I don't have to reduce my protection to play this already stressful and unpleasant game. ...Actually, this might be a good excuse for me to stop playing for a while. Nevermind, Riot! Don't fix it. Just like everything else in your game.

Gay Gangplank4/15/2016, 4:52:35 AM2 votes

Even after restoring and making an exception to the ENTIRE league folder, still won't open...

EDIT: After restoring it and making an exception on the entire riot folder, I was finally able to have it open... kind of concerning.

Jasonxhx4/15/2016, 4:11:32 AM2 votes

BUMP.

Same thing Virus.Injector.LoL it didn't find it when I played earlier today.

Found it in C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_air_client\releases\0.0.1.195\deploy\LolClient.exe

Got it too. Pretty shocking that Riot hasn't mentioned anything about it yet.

Shadowwalker84/15/2016, 6:34:34 PM2 votes

Wow I thought I was the only one.

Alright Riot speak up, what the fuck is going on.

Totsie4/15/2016, 6:34:14 AM2 votes

Same problem here. Just opened my client to patch up, and boom. Malware tells me that its a NoNo. However, i cant get it to work even if i accept the folder league of legends in malware, nor deactivating malware, so im guessing the problem with that the client --> to login screen must be something else?

Riot should compensate! :D

bahREEE4/15/2016, 12:24:33 PM1 votes

I tried opening it while Malwarebytes is off .... same thing, i click on the ' Launch ' and then everything disappears.

check this reddit guys! it's absolutely a false positive, and people are working to resolve the issue. Yay, huzzah, etc.

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/4ev01r/malwarebytes_just_picked_up_malware_from_my/

Still a dumb name for a file though.[slayer-jinx-unamused]

Jasonxhx4/15/2016, 4:41:53 AM1 votes

FALSE DETECTION! go into Malwarebytes and RESTORE the file, then make sure to add the League of Legends folder to the MALWARE EXCLUSIONS folder in Malwarebytes or you won't be able to play.

I have this issue too. I made it as an exception but ever since 6.7 my computer has been a little weird I'm not sure whats going on

Deeren4/15/2016, 5:02:00 AM1 votes

So are we all using Malwarebytes? Anyone using any other protection?

Lalle4/15/2016, 6:12:01 AM1 votes

So what if I just emptied my quarantine of all the threats... and can't restore the file, do I have to repair the client or do I have to entirely reinstall?

oOo Saitama oOo4/15/2016, 6:41:35 AM1 votes

CULIACAN SINALOA4/15/2016, 7:13:41 AM1 votes

Same like everyone else, Malwarebyes says its a Trojan derivative?

Happened to me to. I made a thread just now before seeing this one, so I'll bump this one. I was literally playing an hour ago, now it suddenly happening.

Malware-bytes warned me of this when I opened my LolClient.exe.

...What?
