security threat ?!!!!

Hunden · #1 07-17-2010, 05:34 AM

After installing WOP my security is picking up a threat , not virus but other. Unsure of what this means.I have since uninstalled WOP will run another scan. Also there are only a limited amount of times you can activate your copy of WOP this is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its either 3 or 4 times. The infection may have came with the update so beware.

1. Reinstalling does not kill your activation.
2. It depends on the scanner you use, which programs trigger the virus defense. If you use Norton with maximum security settings, most programs sending data to the internet are considered dangerous, including most games, registration tools, etc.
3. If you think your installations are limited, why not ask first and the uninstall?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is WOP?

Wings of Prey, the PC version of Il2: Birds of Prey.

You might want to post this in the WOP forum.

Well after reinstalling it said i had 2 activations remaining? What ever it is i think it came with an update. The threat is Win32/DropExec_im

Where did you download the patch?

If you lost activations, it means that you deactivated the product. You don't need to do that for removing the game. I don't know how this is done with WOP, though. After all, this is the IL2-Forum.

Maybe you'd be better off asking your questions here?
