Fileplanet trojan?!

[Kris015]

I just got Burnout Paradise and i don't want EADM so i tried to download the update everything went fine until the download finished. Suddenly a message popped up saying the file was infected. What do i do? Have you tried something like this too on Fileplanet?

Actually it found 3 trojans on this same file.

Er, sic your anti-virus program on them?

It can isolate them, then you can go delete the infected files yourself.
At least, that's what I had to do with Norton. It took a while, cos the gits kept multiplying.

Delete the file, followed by cutting the power to your computer.

I think I only ever downloaded Call of Duty: World at War patches off there. From all the experience, no, no viruses for me!

Do a thorough virus scan, see if you can delete it. If not, you should have some sort of 'virus vault' that it can go into so it won't affect your computer. Make sure you complete delete everything that DL'd with the file as well.

Virus sca - delete or delete the whole patch.

Also, go check out EA tech support (for what it's worth). It may be that the 'Trojan' is in fact some of EA's less savoury drm and meant to be there. If it is a virus report it to Fileplanet, they won't want Trojans going around on their servers.
