Hi,
I'm wondering about something... When I installed the game, my antivirus popped up and marked some of the executables in the installer as viruses (namely, files like RAYRUN.EXE and MAPPER.EXE, not sure if there are more...) They were identified as W95/CIH by Avira Antivir. Even though they might be (and almost certainly are) false positives. I'm still wondering about their purpose - what are they used for? I quarantined both files just to be safe, and all the games still run perfectly fine from the desktop shortcuts and from the Start menu as well. Are those files necessary for some purpose? And if they are, can someone please confirm that they are false positives?
