Status: offline 		I just got RFg2 and when I try to install it, it tells me that the file cannot be accessed and then it tells me i have a BackDoor-HQ.dr.dr virus. What the heck is that all about? When I scan my comp for a virus it says its clean. Everytime I try to install it again I get the virus pop-up thing.

It can do that if you don't.

Good luck

Status: offline 		It is extremely unlikely that a virus came with the Real Flight simulator CD. Many programs ask you to disable your anti-virus software before you install their program because the anti-virus program might think that a one of the files to be installed might contain a virus. Once you have installed the program turn on your virus protection again. I have installed programs this way and never have been infected. Hope this helps you.

Status: offline 		when was the last time you updated your virus software? Backdoor virus is fairly new. I very much doubt it would come on RFG2 disk unless it is a pirated copy. You may have the virus on your computer thiugh and need to find and get rid of it. here is the info from mcaffees site
