Unhappy Pirates Online Virius!

Hello everyone, I would like to disscus something, last night I logged onto my pirates online account and the game was updating, throught the downlaoding my computer said that there was 3 threats/virius's in the game! They were all "normal" risk, and it was quickly removed by my antivirius system. I also have proof, heres a screenie I would apprecietie it if you could explain if it happened to you. Thanks!

Hello,

I had the same issue on my computer last night, had to disable the antivirus software just to get it to install and then turn it back on. Still get the virus errors from Norton as you did but the game still seems to run.

Disney will not be hacking your computer anytime soon. It could be a number of things such as a visit to another site that had virus in an ad or even an ad on teh Disney site that held a Virus. You really can never know but i do not think that it is Disney attacking your computer. AS long as your antivirus is on you should have no problems. If you search the internet the file directory you can see what others have said about it and if experts have seen something similar.

This happens a lot with certain Anti-Virus Software. There are several threads all over POF on that same subject matter. I couldn't find them and I am currently too lazy to search for them but they have several ways to fix said problem. Good Luck!
