Feral Heart letting viruses into my computer?!
« on: June 18, 2012, 10:42:43 pm »
Okay.I'm SO sad now.When I downloaded Feral Heart,a BUNCH of other things like Incredibar,Babylon Toolbar,DoubleClick,etc also downloaded.I was forced to uninstall Feral Heart and I cannot play it,because then my computer got 56.FIFTY SIX viruses.My dad said 'It was letting all the viruses into the door.' I can't believe Feral Heart could become such a dangerous thing.Anyone know how to make it more safe,because I'm not deleting my account.

Feral Heart doesn't have a virus, did you download anything before Feral Heart or an add on or map with it?

I tried to download a map.Once.And that's where the Incredibar and Babylon and DoubleClick came from.It wasn't all FH,I know that.It just let all the viruses come,it didn't download them,but it did let my computer free of protection.I really love this game and I'm not trying to complain that FH needs to leave because it downloads viruses or something,but with this encounter,I can't download it until I know how I can protect my computer.

FH is a clean site and does not act as a medium for viruses/hackings. I'm not sure how you would've managed to get 56 viruses off of a download like this. FH does not have a virus. It's the other things you have to look out for, I suppose, as we wouldn't exactly sponsor them if they were going to infect computers. Mediafire and fileswap and those can and are very able to give you viruses. Fix what you can in the way of viruses, but after that... the game should be fine for you to play. Just be careful downloading those other things. There's nothing I can really tell you about how to protect your computer from viruses of FH simply because there are no viruses with us here.

Resigned, quit, and basically long gone.

As long as you're careful about the "extras" you download, you should be fine.
