I was checking my Summon runes, and found some dude's picture in there.. Really creepy... Aside of that random dude being there, some runes don't load. What bugs me most, is obviously that random dude. How come he's there? And why? And, most important: How do I get rid of him? Reply

Err... I'd clear cache
If i were to guess, the images are saved locally in cache, with some "pointers" pointing toward the location of storage to retrieve them for display when needed. And in this case, the pointer remained the same while the file at the location at which they point to got changed and... this happened.

There is also a good likelihood of your computer being infected with some malware, because that USUALLY doesn't happen, as cached files are not supposed to have the same/repeating names etc, so that the system knows when a file is changed and no longer valid to be used by such pointers. This is, btw, how a lot of virus operate, replacing a healthy file with a similar "evil" one that does additional harm when they are executed in place of the healthy file.

How would I clear the cache memory of the Mini client? That is where this is happening.

I know how to clean my browser's cache, done that many times over the years lol. Mini client.. not so much, if it has any to begin with.

Malware, etc is not present, already ran checks for that.

That's indeed weird.

Have you tried uninstalling the client and reinstalling?

That might be an idea, though I fear it won't make much of a difference. Will try that in a bit when I have done what I want to do firs :P

Not sure what malware class you took, but that's certainly not how they work.
My best guess is a bitflip error. Happens from time to time when you got a overheated network interface or on a terrible network with old or low quality equipment. This could also be someone playing with a mitm image replacement attack (a fun prank), or that OP is trolling.

I don't know where you got that idea from, but I don't find much fun in being a * towards people,aka trolling..
No offense, but I find it a bit offending.
