Re: Trackmania Trojan There are no trojans/viruses on any Gametap games, so this is probably just a false positive.

Re: Trackmania Trojan Encryption drives virus scanners nuts. Unfortunatelly they use the syllogistic mistake that because some viruses use encryption, all encrypted files are virues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism# ... c_mistakes

Re: Trackmania Trojan Nice cover up guys. Trying to hide the fact that REALLY, you're waiting on a member of the CIA to download this game, then take over America from the inside out? You aren't fooling me! I figured there was some explanation (you know, a plausible one). Just thought it was something to bring up...in case it was really a virus!

Re: Trackmania Trojan The problem is that this then feeds mob fear of "GT IS HAXING MY COMPUTORS!" and we act quickly as forum mods to smash those evil rumors.
