Hash files

[pianka]

This isn't exactly a programming question or problem, but I've used programming in some respects to solve it anyways, yet it doesn't entirely fix the problem. When I have any hash file exe for any client, after a certain (completely random) time it increases the file size by about 17kb and when later retrying to use these hash files, the check revision fails. Now it doesn't just happen with a bot, my starcraft.exe that's installed also has the same problem. If it's open, it can't change the file size, so I came up with the idea that by opening the exe hash file for binary, it's open and whatever is changing it, can't change it. But that still is a waste of time and resources. Has anyone had this problem or could recomend a solution?

virus?

get the cleaner www.moosoft.com best program i have used may i also recommend buying nortan 2004 and maybe getting bitdefender

Damn...

[Michael]

If its not a virus i would suggest calling blizzard and asking them about it maybe its a glitch or something that affects your type of computer

[pianka]

The cleaner turned up absoluetly nothing

[iago]

does it happen to other files, or just blizzard games?  And is it all blizzard games?

I would suspect that you have some program on your computer (not even a virus, I'd suspect) that is trying to help you by changing the file.  I would suggest .. I don't know what to suggest.  Perhaps a format

[Michael]

Like i said before call blizzard up. if they cant help you then reformat may be a good idea or u could serch google for tauscan another really good virus program and maybe get a reg cleaner thats about all i can think off that may help you.

iago: It has happened to other files but not on a regular basis or like every 10 minutes, like my VB and C++ project files if they aren't open SOMETIMES become corrupt and half the binary is changed. Not all blizzard games just Starcraft, Diablo II and Warcraft II BNE.

Also about it being a program changing it, it would most likely have to be specific towards Blizzard exes. I also constantly check my running processes, if I'm not using it, I close it off. On average I have a total of 16 processes running, most of which are system specific, and others such as AIM and bots.

That doesn't really tell you much.  There are a number of techniques that could allow a virus to run in some other process, or even not show up as a process at all (e.g. kernel mode driver).

I've never seen a virus that could do that.  Well, I guess there's a reason for that.

I still doubt it's a virus, though.

You've never seen a virus that infects other program executables with itself so that when those programs are run, the virus is also run?
