I used the stupid download link for patch 4.2.32 in English and I got a trojan horse and had to system restore. I don't know if it was a freak event or not, but don't download it.[[User:Garret360|Garret360]] 21:04, July 22, 2010 (UTC)Garret360
:I just scanned the file using Microsoft Security Essentials showing no signs of trojans. Is it possible the trojan could have come from somewhere else? The file is hosted on [[EA]]'s servers and it would be quite unfortunate if some of their files have been affected. They link to the files themselves on help pages such as [http://easims.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/easims.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=eWZrJp5k&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_faqid=22061 this one]. Which anti-virus program are you using? '''[[User:Duskey|Duskey]]'''<small>([[User_talk:Duskey|<span style="color:green;">talk</span>]])</small> 21:16, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

: -I use several. My computer behaved strangely and I had many virus alerts, mostly from antivirus programs I had never heard of telling me I had to download the full version to fix my PC. These would not stop creating pop-ups and I could not open any programs. I finally went into safe mode and used one of my antivirus programs, but that didn't fix it completely so I ran a system restore and now everything is alright. That patch is the only thing I had downloaded that day, and it happened within minutes of installation. I'm sure it was the patch. [[User:Garret360|Garret360]] 03:29, July 23, 2010 (UTC)Garret360
::OK, I saw similar complaints in a Gamespot forum about corrupt patches downloaded directly from the server... I'll keep looking for more. I don't want to say that this is true or not, but perhaps the links ought to be removed, at least temporarily, until we can be sure they are not corrupt. If I find any more to say that there are corrupt patches, I'm pulling them as as a safe measure. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 03:43, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
