jackharry Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I have just completed a scan of my computer using malwarebytes and it found "Adware.NetPumper" in the following files: Battlefront\StrategicCommand 2 Blitzkrieg\Misc\Battlefront.com.exe Battlefront\StrategicCommand 2 Patton Drives East Expansion\Misc\Battlefront.com.exe Battlefront\StrategicCommand 2 Weapons and Warfare Expansion\Misc\Battlefront.com.exe Battlefront\StrategicCommand WW11 Pacific Theatre\Misc\Battlefront.com.exe This is the first time this has come up and I have had the programs installed for a long time and done many scans, all of which have always come up clean. Is it ok to remove this? or does it affect the running of the games? Thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy131313 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Definitely don't remove those. Besides this stuff was reported before, it's just a false positive from your virus scan because it doesn't recognize the activation procedures of battlefront or something like that. Long story short totally safe, and you totally need those files. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Actually you CAN get rid of those 'Battlefront.com.exe' files if you really want to. They are just installers for the Battlefront Toolbar for your browser. I've personally never used them myself, but I don't think they will cause any issues if they were simply left on your computer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy131313 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I stand corrected. Usually everything I see ending with .exe is pretty vital 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
