My WoW UI settings keep resetting

#0 - Sept. 22, 2007, 2:22 p.m.

My WoW UI settings keep resetting everytime I exit WoW and restart the game. Dunno why it keeps happening, I've tried repairing, I've tried removing my interface addons and mods, I've tried resetting everything via the WoW repair tool, nothing happens. My UI scale keeps reverting back to a "default" one, default being the setting that it resets itself to. I've also tried removing the WTF Folder, but to no avail, it goes back to the old setting again. I've tried editting the Config file manually, and it still doesn't work either; just goes back to the old Config after I log into the game.

So please Blizzard, Pimp My Ride!! I mean, help me with my problem!

Q u o t e:
I don't mean to alarm you or anything but if I were you I would check for a virus.

First thing, get to a secure computer and change your passwords right now!

Secondly get kapersky trial and download it then scan your computer especially windows\system32 folders.

I had this problem earlier and found I had the mouse.dll and wzcsvbc.dll hidden trojan files which is actually a wow keylogger named Trojan-PSW.win32.OnlineGames.fkj. I am pretty sure a certain wow mod site is spreading it around yet again. It makes it so that your ui settings don't save and it's just a symptom of what it is really doing.

It first appeared last month and the US wow players managed to find it and made a post how to get rid but I would use Kapersky as it's the only checker I found so far that detects it.

I think this is the best line of thought to be taking, in most cases of this been reported recently it has been down to this Trojan.

Kaspersky seems to be able to detect it but you may have to remove the files mentioned manually.

wzcsvbc.dll and mouse.dll
