    Am I being hacked?

    Ok, so yesterday when my wife and I logged, I got a Playonline update... and she didnt. Since then, Playonline has been really weird, trying to reinstal itself, or giving weird messages about missing components.... then working fine.

    Should I just reinstall it? I couldnt find any processes that looked malicious.

    Have you done anything else to your computer?

    Reason I ask, a friend had problems with a map pack, and I defragged my system last night and it ended up deleting Zilart files and loading really oddly.

    We both went back to previous settings/files and it's working fine now.

    Roll it back before the update and see what happens.

    Do a system restore from previous to update? Or Playonline?

    1. System restore, see if that fixes it.

    2. Playonline, see if that fixes it.

    3. Unload APRadar, see if that fixes it.

    My problem was that ASO defrag took out some .txt files from Playonline, enough to cause Zilart to crash and not be recognized and cause some real headaches even loading POL.

    I had this exact problem also, and system restore didn't overcome the problem. I just reinstalled Zilart and it was fine afterwards.
