How do I know if I have the mega server virus?

[Soda Joe (Still got skin)]

Is it like a computer crash or is it in the background stealing my ram?

it's costing you loads of fps unlike any other server. and the servers are mostly filled with bots which you can tell from the generic names and unaware behaviour. they even have a server uptop with 8888/64 players at all times. it eats up way more of your hardware's resources than any other server.

Try running an antivirus scan on your whole drive.

There is no mega server virus.

A long long time ago the mega server was running ads via the steam overlay. So when you joined the server the steam overlay would open up and show you a bunch of ads and that's how the host paid for the server.

The problem was these ads were dodgy as and if clicked on could start downloads containing who knows what.

The server hasn't done that in years.

You're at no risk of viruses however I would highly recommend not playing on the mega server regardless.

This is a bit late sorry but Why do you recommend not to play on it regardless?

I joined the Mega server in error and afterwards each time I joined a server I would see a message saying Connecting to Peer Server.

I reinstalled the game which did not clear it. Only after deleting the Config folder did I get rid of it, I just had to run the file verification tool to restore a fresh folder.

So it would seem the bunghole is attaching files inside the Config folder.
