    It's not the games.
    It's something else.
    Get a good anti-virus.

    Maybe you should stop opening those "natural male enhancement" e-mail offers.
    No matter how desperate you are for a solution.

    But don't blame the games, man. Not the games.

    If you have the money, try out Norton 360. It's a wonderful anti-virus.

    And Pikko, I don't see why everytime you post in a thread it has to personally attack someone. Seriously, don't be such a douche.

    Norton is the worst POS antivirus system out there. It practically kills your computer if you don't keep spending your money to renew it.

    Stick with AVG, and sbybot and everything will be alright. If these don't work then your doing something wrong.

    *sometimes gameguard is considered a virus.

    AVG Antivirus
    ZoneAlarm Firewall (I don't like it much myself, but it's the best free alternative)
    AdAware 2008

    Reformat your computer, and download these along with FireFox 3.0.

    You'll feel a lot safer.

    Also, tips:
    • Don't open attachments from e-mail addresses you don't recognize.
    • Download only from trusted sources, I.E. FileFront, FilePlanet, FileCloud, MMOSite.
    • Build a porn database of trusted websites if you truly can't control your libido. Big names, none of that backwater crap.

    haha... wow thats the worst setup's i've herd.... do this


    First TURN OFF windows firewall.. ( why on earth do people use this)

    Get http://www.zonealarm.com( in less your running linux I strongly agree... has to be the best out there I love it... and trust me its got me out of some sticky situations not alot of exploits that I know of to it... and you have to be smart to know exploiting for firewalls anyway)...

    Then get avast professional ( there are many good ones out there ) so far this is my favorite... its a bit pricey ... but there are always ways to cure things...
    Also you want 2 virus scanners... its always good to have both.... I use clam win antivirus as my secondary... its open source... and it works pretty good

    Dont listen to anyone about AVG it is the biggest piece of crap.... I tell you...

    Then to protect you're registry spybot s n d ftw! ( so far awesome program) and its open source" free ".
    Also get adaware to its nice to have it for quick scans.

    thats the basics of protection to get further into other things I would look into John Doe ... ( proxies and such )


    Oh yeah Game guard is a virus in a sence... its a root kit... meaning its hard to get rid of ... I hate how they do it.. but for prevention of hackers * sob * it does its job.... even know there are exploits to it


    and whatever virus scanner you got is a piece of junk its the reason you're getting virus alerts... because most programs do tend to have malware and trojans ... its just some are harmless so better virus scanners just ignore things like that...

    Yea, it's the porn. Gotta cut back on that stuff, mate! Works 90% better than any anti-virus software out there. Cut back or use a public computer or something.
