I downloaded "Explosion 1.0.1" and installed it using the "setup.exe" file and my computer has'nt been the same since. I recieve countless errors and some video graphics are distorted. This file is possible infected somehow. I run Windows XP, perhaps it is an OS problem. I have removed it via the program manager with no sucess. Please beware!!

Tip: Always scan files with your anti-virus software before opening them! And be sure that your virus definitions are always up to date!

Just checked it out (again) & so far giving no virus or trojan warning. I have scanned it with AVG & McAfee as well as spybot & Zone alarm running in the background. I'm going to run a complete system scan now in the possible event that it managed to bypass the unpacking scan (unlikely) & managed to plant something in a system file - or anywhere. This will take approx 3 hrs (I have a lot of files!)

If I find anything I'll report back. If I don't report anything then my system has passed clean.

We scan ALL files before making them public.

In 6 years we have only detected one trojan in a file & it was promptly removed.

Think Global. It's the world we live in.

You better report back even if the scan is negative or nobody will know whether or not some bug has zonked your computer. Grin
