Spyware in new patch??

Bwaha · #1 March 24th, 2009, 01:12 PM

My anti-virus software deleted a file in the new patch. Now the game doesn't run. Anyone else have this problem?

More likely that the anti-virus software mistakenly identified something as a problem.
Which file was it?

what's your antivirus program?

I use avira and it didnt detect anything

Spybot Search and Destroy. I reinstalled the patch and the game still wont run. I don't have the name of the files deleted. I downloaded the patch to continue a game that I've been playing and when I ran the game Spybot deleted some files. I guess I have to reinstall the game.

I'm pretty sure it's not Spyware. JK's not exactly like that.

I run spybot S&d all the time on all my machines - runs fine.

I suspect you do have a virus....

I'm currently using versions 1.52 - 1.62 of spybot..

I'm sure that it was a misidentification. I just fixed the problem. I reinstalled, re-patched, and ran as administrator. This time it ran okay.

...or perhaps the KGB refined their trojan horse beyond Spybot's search capabilities :O

What probably happened was that they noticed the Snake Charmer mercenary leading militia was called Putin, and they hacked the game files to keep tabs on Dom3 players as a potential threat to national security.

By the way , don't you think that after last August this guy should get an upgrade to his troops?

By the way, S&D had no problems with the patch for me.
