Hey everyone, I was opening up cabal today and my Avast antivirus detected a Root Kit in the Cabalmain.exe

File name: C:\Program Files\CABAL Online (US)\cabalmain.exe
Malware name: Win32:Rootkit-gen [Rtk]
Maleware type: Rootkit

I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice and this keeps happening. This never happened before, and I was able to play fine just yesterday. Has this happened to anyone else?

You could turn off your anti virus, run the game, and then turn your anti virus back on. If you want to just be able to play.

hmm i guess it works for some ppl and not for others, My friend was using the Avast anti virus as well, but he was able to turn off the anti virus and launch the game and relaunch his anti virus once the game was up.

Open your anti-virus and add the Cabal/GameGuard directories to the exclude list so it won't bother with them. This is a false positive because of the way the programs do some of their functions. Often times the programmers will fix things so this doesn't occur then you could remove the excludes for full security again.

Yea i had the same problem i had the game running over nice, and it was running fine i wake up play Cabal for half hour then go to school and i come home and Cabal now has the maleware now and i was pretty mad so avast pops up i clicked delete it did nothing so i clicked move to chest and that made it stop loading for goodand well raven i cant add it to the exclude because i need the password, is there any chances of this getting fixed because by the looks of it I wont be able to reinstall Cabal for about a month or 2 so PLEASE get it fixed.

You need to go into your antivirus then restore the file cabalmain.exe back to its orig location its prob blocked also add the cabal online folder to exclusion list after you restore the file
