    Default Regarding the Broken Crescent d-load from Filefront

    Hi again B.C. team,

    Yes, I thought that bit torrent would not have a virus somewhere on it nor did I think that the 8+ parts would either but I did do a destructive recovery to re-enable ALL my .exe's!

    I've redownloaded B.C. from Filefront and I can't see the icon on my desktop just the Microsoft defender shield attached to something resembling an icon of B.C.

    IS THIS SAFE?
    I ran Norton Antivirus on it just to make sure.

    Please, I DO NOT want to do another destructive recovery again.

    hellas1-BTW, Thank you for your Definitive Labour of Love, B.C.!
    My initial experience with it has been MOST unpleasant.

    I am going to have to say it's more likely something on your end. I've just scanned the file that I've seeded as a torrent and played and picked up nothing.

    I assure you I wouldn't release a major file like this to so many people without virus scanning it. And this belongs in the tech report subforum.

    I'd have expected people to have noticed it by now.

    why are u using norton? it is just bloatware like all the others. use AVG, there is a free personal addition.

    Hi all,

    I ASSURE you my Norton, Spybot and Adaware were all up to date when I downloaded both Bit Torrent.exe & the Filefront version.

    I noticed that ALL my .EXE's were completely disabled after I removed bit torrent.exe. I mean: MSCONFIG, SYS. RESTORE, NORTON, ETC.

    No joking. I've only had to destructively do things 3 times in my "computing life."

    This is NOT meant as a disrespect, as the mod is a labour of love and one of which I'm proud to have available!

    Thank you, hellas1

    Default Filefront version of B.C. corrupted

    Hi B.C. team,

    This is the 3rd time I've downloaded the B.C. mod from Filefront (all 600+ MB's of it) and every time, the downloaed icon is transparent BUT has a Windows Defender shield on the lower right hand corner.

    Can anyone please just confirm this?
    I've tried to install & run this as an administrator and custom battles DO NOT work. Should they?

    I'm downloading all 8 parts from the other source instead now.

    hellas1-Not tryin to give ANYONE a hard time, just probs. for me!

    Do you realize we have a tech support forums? Or are you special?

    Hi Mirage,

    No sir, I DON'T think I'm special. I didn't fully read the released B.C. mod page and as such didn't see the Tech help section because I wanted to download this mod so bad!

    Does that help you understanding why I posted what I posted and where I posted it?

    My apologies as I will hasten slowly in the future, hellas1

    I used the filefront version... worked fine (XPsp2) and with nice speeds.
