Has there been the trojan error in the downloadable gold version? I got that in the demo...and McAfee removed/deleted the exe...anyone know if this will happen if i run the full game now with my virus prog. on?
And if it does delete the exe, can i just reinstall the game from the downloaded file?

The trojan is a false alarm.

Ya, I understand this. But...twice when i ran the demo...McAfee deleted the exe file. I've had it turned off since i installed the full game...so...was wondering if it will still happen and if it does, can i just reinstall wout probs? Some games once installed, don't let you reinstall easily, copy protection ajnd such.

The gold version has a completely different copy protection system and will not cuase this false alarm.

Regardless of the fact it is a false alarm, it still generally prevents the game from installing. I found this out the hard way. The only recourse at the time was to not run the anti virus, an action some consider unacceptable. Also , switching to a different AV is not usually something a person will care for. I basically use whatever AV my computer tech buddy tells me to use. The best of the AVs for me eh
But the issue is old news to me, and no longer relevant to myself as well. Just thought I would comment.

We've removed the old demo of eaw so people wont download it anymore so this issue shodl disappear. We have not had time to create a new demo of MH CEAW yet, which I guess we should do. The new installer & copy protection thats very friendly and safe is not so good when it comes to demos unfortunately so I'm not sure how we fix it at this stage!
