I just saw that Virtual Moon 4 is available for download, a 450 meg file. I downloaded it, but it turns out that it has a spyware built into the install. Do not download this file, but if you do make sure you scan it with a good antispyware program. Some of these new worms are very hard to get rid of if you catch them. > sad

Floyd,

Doesn't where you download it from make all the difference?

Floyd,

What anti-spyware software were you using that detected this problem? What warning / error message did it generate?

Have you looked at the yahoo group "Virtual Moon"that is pointed to by the "Users Forum" link from that page?
