I just downloaded the Trinity patch manually from the eve-online site. Was running great and looking awesome for the first 5 minutes.
Then Kaspersky firewall tells me EVE is doing some very suspicious activities. Namely, this:
I can understand if I get a warning if EVE tries to connect to the Internet, after all it's supposed to, but is there any valid reason it should try to inject itself to ALL processes?
CCP, is this expected behavior for Trinity, or is there something wrong with my client? I can't see how it could have been infected, since I downloaded the patch directly from the official site, but then again, I'm no security expert.

Interesting.. Only thing I can suggest is CCP is trying to take over the world one computer at a time and IT'S A TRAP RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

Clearly this is an attempt from CCP to take over my computer, and on the next restart I can expect the Windows XP boot screen replaced with "Property of CCP, all rights reserved".

Update: EVE will try to do the same thing once per session when I press ESC to bring up the options menu. Any dev know if I should be allowing or denying this action? (I assume terminating isn't a valid option, as I kinda need the executable to run the game)

Looks like it makes no difference if I allow or deny it, so I told my firewall to deny it every time, just in case.

Argh, it keeps popping up no matter what!
Am I the only one with this issue?

Perhaps you do actually have a virus that is masking itself as the Eve executable??!!
Have you run a complete virus scan on your system? Perhaps scan with multiple anti-virus solutions, i.e. Kaspersky and e.g. a Symantec online scan.

I don't know why Kapersky means by "all processes."
Is it literal, or does it mean "all associated processes," or all with "EVE.exe," or what? I can't imagine it trying to "inject" itself into all processes.
My guess, judging by when it occurs, is that EVE is checking to see how much of your processor it can use. It does this by querying existing processes and what they're using/needing, then adjusts accordingly. When hitting Esc, it throttles down since it's just in a menu.
This is a BS hypothesis with no proof and doesn't really make sense (for instance, there are way better ways to query the processor and see how much time is available), but it's the only positive explanation that comes to mind I don't really think CCP is malicious.

That's the first thing I thought of, I've ran several anti-virus programs, along with a few Spyware scanners, I was completely clean except for a few tracking cookies, which are obviously not related to the issue.

As far as I know, when Kaspersky means "all processes", it's every entry on the "Processes" tab in the Task Manager.
I don't think it's a query for processor usage information. If it was, why would it only do it once per session?
As an additional information, it doesn't do it only when I press ESC, sometimes I'm just sitting in station and it'll eventually pop up.
