rename wircd.exe

Post by keeper »

Is there a possibility to have another name than wircd.exe for the executable?

If it's not a silly question, why would you need to rename wircd.exe?

Then email the antivirus company and tell them wircd.exe is not a virus. Ususally it isn't the name of the application, but what it consists of.

Some antivirus programs are over-protective of the users computer, and often see normal applications as viruses.

Speaking of Anti-Viruses McAfee hates the cloaking module so i just told it to allow it. Which im pretty sure is a feature of most good Anti-Virus products. The ability to trust files based on your decision.
