Watch Out! Trojan Virus. - lizard lips - 05-15-2012

I think their a virus monster lurking on the download site at gamesfront when you download custom stories from there. A few days ago, I tried to get THe THings In the Night and it said it detected a virus so i got out of there and restarted my computer. Then I tried to get The Monster Affair, when the same thing happened and i did the same thing. Thankfully my comuter didnt get infected, but its strange. Just letting you have a warning.

It could be that Gamesfront has been hacked.
Have you tried scanning your own computer, so that you can rule out that it's not your own computer that's infecting your downloaded files?

Yes. I scaned it and my computer isn't acting strangely.

Nope, your antivirus sucks a little-bit. That's all.
