    Pretty much this.

    @yorik100 This isn't a place for chatting, nor making unfounded claims (just because you don't understand how something works doesn't mean it's the source of all your problems). If you're having a technical issue with the game, we'd be happy to help. If you're going to install mods/addons not downloaded from a reputable site/source and you refuse to scan them before installing, then that's your responsibility and not the fault of anyone/anything else (especially if you're installing binaries/executables which have no place being in legitimate Starbound mods/addons). You've been asked for a copy of your log more than once and you have not provided it. The DLL you mentioned in your original post does not come from a legitimate installation of Starbound. If you're not interested in solving your issue, you are welcome to take the conversation to another section of the forums.

    You should always make sure that you're following safe computer/internet practices to avoid viruses/trojans/malware/etc:
    - Don't download or run anything that didn't come from a trustworthy source.
    - Install (and keep updated) antivirus and anti-malware programs and run scans regularly and often.
    - Don't give out personal info for any reason to websites you don't trust.
    - If it seems too good to be true, it most likely is.

    I'm going to leave this thread open for now as you've indicated you have an issue (although from what it seems your issue is not related to the game). If you don't wish for help with your issue, I'll close this thread up.

    Moved to In-Game & Billing Support. First of all, remember that false positives are a thing. Install another antivirus program and run a scan for a second opinion. If all you need is a free one, I'd recommend Malwarebytes or Avast!.

    Also, you need to provide more details. What do you mean a player gave you a virus? Did you install a mod? Did this happen over a server? Or did you just run an antivirus scan and something got flagged?

    Alright, so you've already checked it with multiple AV programs. But you're still not answering all my questions. Did you use any mods? And what's this adbpzetqz.dll you mentioned?

    This is just an FYI, only because I see it a lot and people confuse the two. Malwarebytes is NOT an anti-virus. It only detects PUP's( and I can't remember the other ones) but it is only malware. Avast does detect some malware but is mostly an ant-virus. I highly recommend that you install both on your system. They're both free.

    As far as I am aware there is no way to transfer a file to create a and run it.
    Since Lua in starbound has no read or write access to the computer.

    So it is more likely you got it from somewhere else.
    The only way possible you would have gotten it is - by downloading it voluntarily.
    But it would not have possible for it to be transferred through the server.

    Incredipede Title Not Found

    Either it's a false positive or you got that from somewhere else. There's no way to transfer a virus or malware ingame. Also, you mentioned Skype in one of your posts. Did the player send you a file via Skype? Did you click on any links? Besides that, it would be great if you could provide a screenshot of the detection report of Bitdefender or Hitmanpro.

    "Not sure if" and "The only way" are contradictory

    Like I said - you will more likely have to look at other causes.
    There is no write to disk capabilities - so its more likely something you did voluntarily.

    You can't inject programs. There is no need to think it.
    People can make SB crash - but not by injecting any software through the game.

    This didn't happen with Starbound. If something like that were to happen to two hundred thousand people, we'd have heard about it.
