Hello All,

I'm new, but I thought the WoWCensus idea was a great one and I decided to help contribute some info last night. I DL the UI and did a scan in IF. Came back to the site to upload/submit the data, pointed everything to the right place and began the upload.

I run McAfee Firewall and I got a popup about an .exe file trying to connect to the internet. The name was "Ksurlbva.exe"

Now I know that I was try to send data, I just wasn't sure why a new .exe was needed. I blocked the access and closed the site window. I just wanted to run it past you guys and see if that indeed was a legit part of the Census Submission process.

With Blizzard's warning about .exe programs I just wanted to be safe

Thanks for for any clarification about this

Regards,

No, you should not get any exe's attempting to run when you access the site or upload data. If you are seeing that, I would update my virus scanner and do a scan immediately.

I also can't find any info about the exe you mention, so I would be very cautious about it.

Thanks Rollie,

Yea I did a google and ask.com search for that .exe and came up empty as well

I'll run a complete scan with my 4 diff programs (2 virus, 2 spyware) and see if anything hits.

I'll keep you posted

Thanks!

I did some research for you. Here are the results:

bva.exe = barcode vocalization application

This is used to access .wav files on your computer. So maybe you have a mp3 player in the background running or something like that.

It isn't a virus, or trojan


Ksurl= The location on your computer that points to the bva.exe file.


I hope this helps.
