Virus in RFG2
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.

Virus in RFG2
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.

Virus in RFG2
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
