What is your virus program? If you name one of the dumb ones, then yes, it was irrational and you are likely computer illiterate. I'm an IT specialist and my download was clean as a whistle. You can even check the MD5 checksum when downloading these things to make sure nothing was added or tampered with.

Plus, get a real antivirus software. Also, when downloading from the arrghh place, you click the magnet link. You do NOT download any files from the site itself. If you did, you were probably clicking on an advertisement, not the real link. Download Adblock so you don't see those sort of things.

Wow, attacking my anti-virus before you even find out what it is.

I use AVG. I didn't download from that place, as I mentioned, someone sent me a link directly to the place to get it. I tried from there and it AVG came up with a problem. Maybe I'm no IT specialist, but when my anti-virus comes up with a flag, that worries me. Even if it's not a real antivirus. I won't be downloading it from anywhere, unless it was here or DBG, or I could find a physical copy for a reasonable price.

Me thinks you need to just go play WoW. Your just coming off as some paranoid crazy person on here. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] AVG, yeah really.

Rararboker is the good guy, not your enemy like you think.

AVG? Your definitely trolling me. And I fell for it. =[ Shame on me.

I'd suggest googling md5 checksum. You will understand my post much better once you do that. But you not downloading it doesn't hurt any of us and the way your acting, it probably is a good thing for all of us.

I love all my nerd breathren and just wish to help you enjoy p99 in all its glory. Except the bronies, they are an abomination unto this Earth, they can go away and never return.

This is actually a good thing. Gives the staff more time to work out bugs, and people to farm shit.
