Pilot37 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 My PC Guard Software (Virgin Internet) updated today and tells me the above file is infected with "W32/Susema-based!Maximus" virus. I cleared it out and reinstalled the game. Same problem. Is this a legitimate file in the game? Any other ideas? Could my anti virus have just lost the plot? Game runs with anti virus switched off. Is the file for internet play or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabairarius Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hey Pilot, I am having the same problems. I've run the anti-virus, un-installed the game, run anti-virus again then downloaded the game again and re-installed it. I am then told by my anti-virus prog that the W32/Susema-based!Maximus virus is back. Mine is in the Jet RT folder. Can anyone help? Cheers, Sab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabairarius Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Do you think this could be fixed by deleting the infected file and placing a known clean file in the RT folder? If so could one be posted here or emailed to me? Sab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 what virus scanner you got!? maybe its wrong alarm!? where yoou got the game from!? if you have it from DVD it cant be infected. the official DL version cant be infected too...!? hm, most probably a wrong alarm.

Sabairarius Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hi Pandur, I use Virgin Media PC Guard. I downloaded the game from the Battlefront website. I am going to download the multiple files and see if that works. Looks like pilot and I got the same message from different AV software at about the same time. Curious, Anyway I'll see how the next download and load goes and get back to you. Cheers, Sab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabairarius Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Well I have just downloaded and installed the multipart version of the game and my AV has popped up an alert for the same virus in the same file. So my game is un-playable unless I turn off the AV. Which of course I will not do so I am stuck. Sab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandur Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 hm, i think we have to get straight about wich AV things we use i have Anti-Vir personal edition(the free one). this one... http://www.free-av.de/ it doesnt detect this file as bad. virgin media PC guard!? never heard of that one... is this one also free!? if yes you might try Anti-Vir had never a problem with it for any game, and had never a virus contracted no matter how deep i dug through porn sites i still belive you would get that warning even with the DVD version. it would be interessting to know what this file do.

Pilot37 Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi Sibairarius, sorry i have been away on business! Think I have solved the problem. Virgin media comes with PC Guard which uses a program file called f-prot. This uses a "Heuristic" scan to detect suspicious trojans. I believe the PC Guard software to be out of date. Either wait for it to be up to date or do what i did.....cash out for a better antivirus system (I went for Panda at £42 There is now no problem!) I say this because the help on PC Guard is non existent. "susema" is also a PC Guard description so not easy to find on the net. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabairarius Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hey Pilot, It looks as if the problem has gone away. There have been a couple of updates recently and one which required a restart. After that hey presto! No more virus probs. Just the old crashing to desktop in the middle of a battle mularkey. Ho Hum...roll on the patch.
