Default BT Virus Warning - 09-13-2003, 06:46 AM
This happened to a fellow clan member.

[quote:2efd3]Anyone who downloaded the BT demo from IGN I strongly urge you to do some virus scans on your computer. I originally downloaded the demo from IGN, and received an error when attempting to install. The reality is that it was a virus called w95.weird. This virus infects every executable program on your computer. My laptop and 2 pcs are beyond repair. Luckily, my main gaming PC never saw this version of the demo and was unaffected.

I don't know if this is coming from IGN accidentally or if someone rerouted our dl or what, but I suggest all check for this virus since it was clearly distributed by the BT demo. I have 1048 infected files on my laptop. 1 pc has over 300. The other won't boot up. I'm fucked, and I urge anyone yet to dl the demo to be very careful.[/quote:2efd3]

Dont you think that a demo like this, and which is almost 2 weeks old would be downloaded by atleast 90% of the active people in this forum?
