i dont know what happened but while redownloading the mana world...
lol i put it in a file that i wasnt gonna delete and then i decided to delete it so i had to...

but anyways last night i just got done downloading and while playing my comp crashed and i only got it going again by hours of safe mode scanning... of course my virus scanner is out dated so i didnt get the name of the virus but atleast its gone now... might want to check it out... no i have not visited any other sites while, before, or after downloading mana world... also picked up 1 spy ware file

Although it's not likely to be TMW, of course it's not impossible. But I'm sure ElvenProgrammer, who makes the Windows installers, is scanning his system on virusses and probably also the installer specifically before releasing it. We've had a virus report before, by somebody who didn't know where to post it:

well TMW is running fine... seems no permanent damage than it wasted my time... for anybody else that might have a problem here jus go in safe mode and scan if that doesn't work.... do what i did and delete to ur hearts desire(lol i had too many files so i thought not only scanning i mys well delete my older rarely used games)

Sure I scan all the setup files before releasing, but I only have access to free antivirus software and up to date version of Mc Afee so if someone wants to scan them to be sure, feel free to.
