What the virus is, is that it gives them access to your root system, and basically someone can take over you computer while you are playing the game, they will have remolt control over it from another computer, so they can see if you are file sharing or not and report you.

The truth is any software that you download could and usually does have spyware or viruses in it. Go to downloads.com and get a spyware remover. I use MSI on the Microsoft website that removes any spyware on the computer. Make sure that you have a legal copy of windows or you will get into trouble. I would suggest updated MSI every week or so and running it, then I would get Norton anti virus witch includes a firewall and is very user friendly. It too detects spyware and removes it. It works well with MSI. I use both without any problems and anything i send or receive is scaned for spyware and viruses. Take care Heather
