I have learnt that sometimes antivirus software is wrong. I was installing a few days ago the newest office pack and got that same information, so i recommend you download a patch from the other source, like here:

or here http://s1.download.net.pl/15099-ET-2.60b-win32.zip

you could always whitelist the ET Executable from ur antivirus software

ET.exe

and any other files from the ET Folder that pop up with a warning.....

(Afterthought first)
"new computer'...is this a Windows 7 issue? I have WinXP. What is your OS?

You copied the unzipped files from 2.60b over your ET+2.60 files? I don't like that Trojan warning, which could mean the file(s) are corrupted, either intentionally or accidentally.


My file sizes (not size-on-disk)

wolfet.exe 257 MB (270,305,943 bytes)
ET_Patch_2_60.exe 5.53 MB (5,806,971 bytes)


2.60b unzips to (Win32):

ET.exe 1.22 MB (1,286,144 bytes)
ETDED.exe 568 KB (581,632 bytes)

The last two should be the sizes after final installation.

Yikes.

I have such a horrible sunburn. Hung out at the beach, in the sun for 6 hours. Now am just enjoying live, doing nothing. Since I got no work and no school. :lol: :lmao:

I'll play some time again :)

you?

How can you say that?!

No one is playing ever. Everyone is moving on to different games.
Maybe they should renew THIS ET instead of making it a different game or shutting the game off... :cry:
