If I have to specify every single aspect of the problem, you clearly don't have a single clue what the problem is or could be linked to in the first place (and probably never experienced said problem), so you wouldn't be much help anyways.

There are no trojans, or any form of malicious programs in client files, both torrent/direct download.

There are no trojans, or any malicious programs in the provided launcher.

You're getting false positives from your anti virus.

I'm sorry that it was too much trouble for you to specify which file was implicated, or even give any justification for your belief that anything related to us was responsible, so that I could have advised that the launchers may be reported as malware due to their means of allowing the client to be usable.

I will make sure to be more considerate in the future. :)

You said there are, and then you said there aren't... I'm confused.

It was a typo...why should they hide a trojan in the client (common sense etc. pp.)?

As azarael wrote, you could be "a little" more precise what exactly caused your problems.
There are no problems with the launcher and the client is the WAR 1.4.8 client from mythic.

Typo, I mean't "Aren't". Million miles away, doing a million things at once.



To reiterate: There are NO trojans, Virus', or Malicious programs. It's all 100% clean. Why would I officially post programs which are infected? lol I'm staff.
