Hi to all this is an odd thing so I thought I'd post it in the mods and the basic SH3 forums as I'm hoping someone may have had a similar experience.

OK - I've been playing SH3 happily for years - this evening and out of the blue when I clicked on the usual SH3 icon my Avira Anti Virus program flashed up the following warning:

C:\ProgramFiles\Ubisoft\SilentHunter\MissionEngine .dll is the TR/Crypt.ZPACK.GEN Trojan

Can any one tell me what’s going on - Avira gave me options to delete, ignore etc originally I selected delete which caused my game to become impossible to run.

So then I encountered the usual difficulties uninstalling and then reinstalling blah blah - Thank god for Mr. SquareSteelBar (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=225594) and his SH3 RegClean (http://www.mediafire.com/?wngwd6yie9u) He should put this on a sticky cos I imagine when the Merchant Fleet comes out a few people will be wanting, or will need a clean install. And this seems to be the best way to ensure a complete uninstall.

So the question is does any one know what is going on with this Avira warning?

Best Regards
Rascal

The virus could of simply infected that file. All you need is another exact clean file. You may want to ask somebody to upload it for you.

It also could be a false positive. Avira does have a forum where you can ask questions about it. http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=Index
