Virus? - F-secure found a trojan!

Well I guess the file must be corrupted...try and redownload it.
This is strange.

pkp, ive downloaded and redownloaded it, including the old version, same result.

okay... first off... im fairly certain this game does not have a virus in it..... some anti-virus programs attempt to detect viruses but just detecting certain viral patterns and not genuine sigs.... that is why some software sees it this way and some doesnt... it could be alot of things... the way the keyboard input is detected... the client/server type architecture.... the way it uploads scores...i seriously doubt there is a virus in the software... so until we can prove otherwise i think the virus topic should be stopped. Virus software is never 100% and gives false positives on occasion. If your worried and you actually pay for your virus software... some virus soft vendors will look at the file to determine if its being improperly detected.

Okay, this is just too weird. I downloaded the game, but I couldn't run, and the .exe file misteriously disappeared after the first attempt. I then proceeded to download it again, with the exact same results. Finally, I realised Kaspersky wasn't running, and right after I turned it on the game started working normally. Virus or no, something seems wrong.

well... i have no AV running currently... and i havent seen this happen here... but that is odd

After I updated my AntiVir today I got those warning all the time as well. Seems to be not only Kaspersky detecting a virus here. Anyway, I put it on the ignorelist and continued jammin'.

My friend without AV receieved the same error about an inaccessable .exe file. I have no security settings restricting it, the file is borked.

I had the same problem, in my case AVG was denying access to the exe even when choosing "ignore".

I solved it by opening control center and turning off "AVG resident shield".

i get no issues with bitdefender, and that thing is paranoid, and updates itself twice a day lololol

i hope you get it sorted at this game owns everyones faces!!!!!!
