    Hi Tomas,

    actually it might have been that your virus-checker thought there was a virus. One problem with virus-checkers: They are dumb like shugar. If they see a piece of code matching a so called virus (what it might not be) they complain.

    Sometime ago, I head two virus-checkers installed and they both tried to remove each other.

      It may also be that a virus already on your computer has infected modswapper.
      Call to Power 2: Apolyton Edition - download the latest version (12th June 2011)

        I just couldn't 'resist' posting it. It was the one of the stupiest things I ever experienced And it took me like 2 days to figure out why after reinstalling 1 the other one didn't work.

          This is most likely the case (but if you're absolutely certain the rest of your PC is virus free, Gilg's explanation is the most logical). I can guarantee you ModSwapper isn't a virus and doesn't come with one when downloaded from Apolyton.

            I scan my system with a varity of different Virus scanners, and i've never found anything from the stuff i download from here, not to say it cant ever happen - but in just over two years of downloading mods etc, ive never found an infected file from apolyton.

              Can't speak for the rest of the database team, but I usually virus-check the files I add them to the Directory. Not that I don't trust you guys, but accidents can happen and better safe than sorry...

                Same for myself, I always check for virus(es) before opening, but never found any.
