Maybe this will help explain what is going on or give you ideas on what to look for.

The new PB will help with this, HOWEVER, let me mention something funny.

I have had around 5 users discover that Pwnboxer actually helped them detect that they had a keystroke logger! Yes, pwnboxer detected it when their anti-virus software did not! Very funny story, anyway, the person downloaded something using a WoW automatic mod program (I think it was wowmatrix?) and that program installed an OS-level keyboard driver, which logged his keys. His AV didn't pick it up, either. Well, Pwnboxer actually checks with Windows to determine hardware on a system, and that keylogger was "morphing" itself frequently, and every time, Pwnboxer would see a new Computer ID. After a while, the user ended up doing a free anti-virus web-scan because he couldn't figure out the issue, and sure enough, he found he was keylogged from his WoW addon manager.

So yea, Pwnboxer helped him find out he got keylogged.

Funny story isn't it?

Of course Pwnboxer is not a virus scanner and I will never say it is, I just like to bring it up just *in case* you happen to have what a couple of other users had from a wow addon manager. PS - Who on earth would install a program to manage their WoW Addons? Isn't that a bit risky?

Edit: *Wave to Jeff if you read this*

Edit #2: Eww maybe it was wowmatrix that keylogs? http://www.thefreesouls.com/forum/index.php?topic=216.0

Trend Micro, Avast, and AVG all report clean scans.

Not sure what to do next however.

Are you using normal Windows (versus a virtual windows)?

[beernutz]

Yes, Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. Not running in a VM or anything.

Might be helpful if there was a way to ask the program what it thought changed?

What is the install location of Pwnboxer?

[Tim]

Do this, go into Pwnboxer, make sure the troubleshooting mode is enabled.

Also, are you running RAID, or some automatic overclocking software?

[beernutz]

installed in:
d:\wow\files\pb

And yes, this is on a Raid-5 array.

I will turn on troubleshooting once i get back home and report the results.

[beernutz]

It appears that troubleshooting was and is still on.

I don't see any kind of log though. Where should I look for more info?

[TheMuffinMan]

it sends a log to the pwnboxer servers that Tim can analyze.
