Avast! antivirus falsely reports that Bugfix001 contains an unspecified Trojan. I have extensively scanned it with all manner of tools and I assure everyone that this is a false alarm.
But Avast will not let you run the patch. OK, here is the scoop. Left alone, Avast! will protect you whether you wish to be protected or not. It just will not let you run the FOTRSbugfix001.
So we have to be as nasty to Avast! as it is to us. In your system tray (lower right hand corner of your screen, you see the Avast! icon with the "a" on it. Right-click that and choose "Pause Provider" then "Standard Shield." Avast! will pop a warning window on you to attempt to scare you out of making the change. "Your computer might be at risk. Click this baloon to fix the problem."
Refuse to be intimidated. Now you can run FOTRSbugfix001.exe right out of the rar file. It will ask you where FOTRS is and then apply the patch. You might as well run the Carrier Upgrade now too. When you're done, delete the rar files so Avast! won't have a cow.
Right-click the Avast icon again, choose "Resume Provider" then "Standard Shield" and you are back in business with Avast! none the wiser. Enjoy FOTRS!
