Okay, last night I came home to find that I couldn't play 2142 because I was out of system resources, reboot computer and try again. After several tries and a PB update, nothing worked. So I deleted 2142 and reinstalled. Today, everything is finished, and I go to set up my keys. Well, I go to start the game, and it detects a virus in PACE!!!! ^_^ So, I attempt to confine it and what do you think it did??? Yup, deleted 2142 files. Now, I have to reinstall 2142 again. :mad: By the way I dl 2142 and patches through EA installer. Probably my first mistake. Now I'm really frustrated because I'm working doubles and don't have time to set this all back up again. :mad: Any suggestions of why I got a virus through PACE???

arrgh,i had to reinstall not to long ago myself for different reason but i feel for you. best of luck ^_^

You can get viruses from anything you open really. Hard to believe that you could take it through EA installer though, most of us get the patches from there, being an official site i would imagine that they are well defended. I've dealt with trojan's lately, so far i've managed to get rid of them without uninstalling staff. The one and only program i found to be 100% effective is "Kaspersky internet suite". Many times those viruses come hidden under anything like attachments for example so here i can not figure out what is PACE ? (not exactly a noob but 'pace' does not ring a bell right now).

we had a post about this. you have to do a search in your files and folders for 'pace' and delete them all.

 

Pace is an advertisement file for 2142. Look for the post to double check what to do.

Thanks, reinstalled today and had no problems. ^_^ Gee, something went right for a change.

wow never heard of that one, but we have one going around here on thumbdrives called RavMon, not sure if any of you heard of it but it was my first time when I came out here.

Is it possible to get rid of all the 2142 spyware?
