Righto, so recently I attempted to play online with a mate for civilisation 4. Then the game tells me I need a patch, so naturally, assuming it was safe (not sure about the origin of the copy of civ 4, got it from a friend. Came with a disk and a case), I just accepted. As soon as it was complete, the program minimized and another program came up somewhere along the lines of antispysoftware... This program began auto scaning my computer, telling me it was infected and that in order to fix it I had to buy the product. This is clearly a virus and is tearing up my computer... When I attempt to manually open up ANY program a warning box comes up telling me the task.exe is infected, would I like to run antispysoftware now? My option are to either buy the full product, or run the scan which requires me to buy the full product... I currently am using Avira anti virus software. Since downloading this patch my Avira has had it's guard unactive and I am unable to re activate it. My assumption is that the virus has found a way to turn it off and is just being... incredibly inconvenient... *sadface*...
Any help on this would be frickin' awesome!!
