DO NOT USE MULTIPLAYER TRANSPORT TYCOON!

Gees, i did 2 times (without success) and received a wonderful, beautiful trojan virus. :wall: :ranting: :wall: It isn't a bad one but gees did it cause problems. Watch out for it. It frequently attacks through IRC channels.

Now its probable that many have been able to go multiplayer. In that case, congratulations on being lucky and crap do I always get screwed. sheesh. here's the snap shot I grabbed b4 my system went down. Okay, nix that thought. For some reason one cannot post images in this forum...weird. Whatever. Just be careful guys

"It strikes me as odd" that you claim to have caught a trojan while playing TTD in multiplayer after bragging around in another thread that it was impossible... ;)

Are you sure you got that virus from the game itself? You might just be unlucky and it would not be related to the game at all...

that was because I had a brain freeze and forgot the 2 player meant multiplayer, LOL, my bad on that one. No, i don't know if I got it from the game, but it seems strange that while I was trying to connect to my biddies game, thats when I got it.

thankfully AVG was able to clean it up after I manually removed the file in safe mode.

Virus Negative

Possibly it opens and uses a Windows port that normally remains closed, and therefore isn't protected by the standard firewall. I'm using McAfee, and the number of attempted attacks on a range of closed ports is staggering.
