Hi friends
Please be care full downloading and installing ZU on line from this site.It has a Trojan virus and another virus (WIN 32/HEUR & WIN 32 ANTI).I got in a hurry and didn't set my new down load manager to auto virus check on new down loaded programs & games.So yes it got on my computer.But my AVG anti virus grabbed it off.I notified management.I still am looking for side affects of this virus.TY Toxicblade

I'm pretty sure your anti virus is being retarded. I doubt they would put viruses in the installer. That would just make them lose money and ruin their rep.

Did you download the game off their website? or some reputable website? b/c once in awhile people host their own files of the game with alittle something something. Though I would say BadpcGuy is correct, ur anti virus program is probably just a little faulty.

A lot of games will have things that pop-up as malware depending on your virus scanner / firewall, it doesn't nessecarily mean they are.

If you downloaded off the official website, I doubt its a virus. Even if it is, if AVG grabbed it then your computer is safe. Thus there is no need to look for the side "affects" of the virus

MMO games come with crap like Xfire and Gameguard which are technically viruses in themselves, so it's okay for your antivirus software to freak out.

I'm sure a search of the Zu Online forum would show a billion threads about this topic with the answer I just provided you.

We're supposed to believe someone with only one post, people have replied and the OP has not responded, a hit & run poster!

It's called a false positive. ;/ Study moar intrawebs plocks.

You're not crazy, Toxic! AVG Just picked up the SAME Two viruses, and I downloaded if off of the main site. I have been getting minor cookie trackers from the same download, including a pop-up Advertisement.

It is a fun game, but please scan it before you play! (Once they're removed, the game is able to be played, as it did before).

Another guy with one post? Am I sensing it is the same guy? Anyway, that happens all the times with things being downloaded from the internet, it is a false positive. All blockers are super protective of you. Don't take it for granted.
