    Same problem here with the false positive from AVG.
    I just ignore it.

    Sorry, Fuzzy does not have the answer, but this belongs in tech-support.

    AVG found a Troyan dropper or something like this in PWPROTECTOR.EXE.

    Please devs fix this b:shocked i dont wanna get PWI unplayable same like FW.

    When i was opening launcher of FW it crashes and it says Dr.Win need to close this application.FW is unplayable and i've unninstaled that game few months ago.

    I don't wanna lose PWI too b:cry

    Fix your lanchers and game processes b:sad

    im using windows 32 bit, XP SP3 if it helps and no i won't change my XP.

    i started to play PWI in november 2008 right after open beta ended :)

    U guys have 2 options .
    1).Disable your anti-virus
    2).Add the game files in your anti-virus exception lists

    There's no error in launcher or Patcher it's just your anti-virus which is giving false positive to the game files and blocking it. Next Time Search the forums this issue has been answered serveral times before.

    Here is a list of files you have to add to your anti-virus's list of exceptions to make PWI work right:

    patcher.exe
    launcher.exe
    packdll.dll
    pwprotector.exe

    If you don't, you will probably be denied to play.

    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.

    It's easier to just add the entire game directory to the exclusions list.

    At the rate I discover new false positives with the different anti-virus programs, it's a rather wise solution to follow.
