InstCC.exe

[LordNevar]

I just reinstalled fully from original store bought cd's, and this file is installed with the client.

[Barabajagal]

That answers that. So what is it?

I don't have it from my store-bought CD's... What versions did you have?

Both my BW and SC are 1.05.

It doesn't come back if you delete it. At least as far as I can tell.

I had the same problem a month or so ago -- a friend also had the same problem.
I'm pretty sure this file was patched into the game in some patch awhile back, no?
As said in this topic, just delete it, it's not a required file.
As for what it does, well... ALL YOU'RE DATAZ AND BOTZ AND CODEZ BELONGS TO BLIZZ0RD.... erm I really dunno.
IIRC, starcraft/broodwar doesn't execute it if you're just loading the game, logging on battle.net and playing some games. (I think)

Here's an idea. Maybe it's been suggested, but maybe I'm wrong. Disassemble the file and find out what it does?

hm i normally dont comment on thoes rumour posts. but i have some facts:

1. i bought starcraft+broodwar from the store in germany (100% legal version)
2. i installed it
3. instcc.exe was there and avg detected it as trojan
4. i deleted it, everything works fine.

Yes, we're first trying to figure out where the file is coming from. I would love it if you'd include the CD version of the disk you found the file on.

I believe the file is only on the SC 1.00 disk.

Hmm... well, if anyone wants to decompile it and their anti-virus already deleted it or something, http://realityripple.com/uploads/InstCC.exe .

[UserLoser]

isnt this forum for b.net bot development?

[Barabajagal]

Ya... I think the inner workings of the games we're trying to emulate are relevant, and it's really the only file in Starcraft that makes no sense at all to me.

It isn't a known malware:
