cmdlineext02.dll

[dHay]

So, I'm cleaning out my %temp% directory, and I
find this DLL there, cmdlineext02.dll.
Hmm, I think. What new virus is this.

Hmm, it's registered as a Shell extension.

Hmm, it was created yesterday around the
time I started PTW up.

So, unregister it. (regsvr32 /u cmdlineext02.dll)
Delete everything.
Run PTW.
There it is again.

So, my question is, why is it installing PERMANENT software into my TEMP directory?
Like, put it in your own directory, and add it at install time
like everything else.
Don't behave like a virus.

Unregister it again.
echo Junk > cmdlineext02.dll
attrib +r cmdlineext02.dll

Problem solved.

Any idea what it does??

Don't know. Suspect it may have something to do with multiplayer
cheat detection.

Could be copy protection, but game still seems to run.

What bugs me is that it is in the temp directory.

command line extesion, whatever it is. guess what, i have it too

I have it too, of course I can't read the code, but there are a few words written in there that looks like it's multiplayer related.

It also installs the animated cursor into the temporary folder 'Sltnflcn' is the name of the file (4.48kb size)

that animated cursor appears when you start game and cd is being read
