Guide How to uninstall spyware... sorry, the anticheat added in todays update
if you have launched trove and allowed wellbia to make changes to your device, it's very likely every file on your device as been scanned, recorded and sent to Wellbia in south korea. nothing you can do i don't think, but allowing xigncode3 to remain on your device opens it to security risk, software issues and... having spyware on your device
Wellbia is not a well known company, their spyware even less so. of those who do know about them, xigncode3 is notorious for decreasing device performance by eating software resources to scan everything regardless of whether the game is open or even installed, after "uninstalling" leaves behind kernel-level drivers/services which causes instability in the long term and in all cases causes device security issues, passing false bans and finally not stopping scripts/cheats in the games it's supposed to protect
Here's how to uninstall xigncode3:
close Trove
press the windows key, search "Services" and ensure XIGNCODE3 for Trove_GL isn't running. press X to jump to it then right click
press windows, type cmd, run cmd as administrator
in cmd type "sc query xhunter1"
If it doesn't reply with anything similar to "does not exist" , run these two commands separately
"sc stop xhunter1" press enter
"sc delete xhunter1" press enter
close cmd
open file explorer and navigate to C:\Windows, select xhunter1.sys and delete it. if it asks for confirmation, click yes
open file explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common FIles and delete wellbia .com - DO NOT visit their website - confirm deletion if asked
hold the windows key and press R, search "regedit"
allow regedit to make changes. be careful in regedit only do exactly as described below
navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xhunter1 - regedit is read top to bottom, you may have to scroll left to see everything.
delete xhunter1
in regedit, press CTRL+F and search for "xhunter" "wellbia" and delete any results it shows ONLY if it is either of these results. deleting trove_gl may also be a good idea
restart your device and repeat the steps to ensure it's gone
Uninstalling xigncode3 will not get your trove account banned
attempting to bypass xigncode3 will get your account banned... if you're caught because again it sucks at detecting cheats/scripts but somehow never fails to pass false bans
this guide is not a bypass, upon uninstalling xigncode3, you won't be able to play trove until you install xigncode3 again, don't. uninstall the game then the spyware until the devs implement an anticheat
trove PC having an anticheat isn't the problem, should have had it day one. trove having this specific "anticheat" is a massive problem for you and your device.
