problems with new game I bought

I tried to install the game on my laptop, I have windows xp and have plenty room but my antivirus (avast)sounded a siren signal saying this- (the walls of Jericho full armor)



file name:E:\setupJericho.exe

Malware name:Win32-Adware-gen[Adw]

Malware type:Adware

VPS version:080723-1,07/23/2008



so when I followed avast instructions on what to do which was move to chest/vault

when I tried, avast said Access denied cannot process E:\setupJericho.exe file



Said the same for secret chamber full armor

How can I install the game without getting the adware onto my laptop ? can you help

Read the thread before you post!!!
If you bought the game there would be no problem. It sounds like you have downloaded the game from torrents if this is the case we cant help you
