My Virus Scanner finds a suspicious script

When I run OFF2 I get a message of a potential virus with this
pop-up "tried to run Delete File Method in ifilesystemobject."

If I hit cancel I guess the script does not run and the program continues but
message comes up again every time I enter info in creating a pilot.

Anyone have any insight into this ? It would be appreciated.
 
Everytime I come out of OFF, I recieve the message
"Unit not recognized by Microsoft" mine, I think is associated with Trackir, because Natural Point did not Kiss Bill Gate's ring.

There's three things you can do, Delete Cleanse Reinstall

Forget about it

In WORKSHOP your can eliminate warnings, However if something does happen. . . you'll never know it . . Till something major happens . . In which case you have it on disc . .Who cares

Or it could be totally outside of OFF, which you installed from a disc

I've got AVG Internet Suit, it refused to let me install DOOM III, kept telling me, THERE IS A TROJAN which we all know is impossible.

2 months later, it installed
 
If you had a virus from OFF the 1000's of people who downloaded and play, including the Dev team would all have crashed PCs long ago ;)

So it's either a false alarm, or you got a virus elsewhere which has attached to OFF or other programs.
 
I really was not concerned about getting a virus from OFF itself.

Neither do I think I have one on the computer from something else. I have NEVER gotten this type message. In fact I do not remember ever getting a virus warning. That covers many years.

My first thought was it was a bogus message and my concern is that part of the
message includes "ifilesystem" and system stuff scares me. If thats what it refers to.

Thanks for the info guys.
 
A quick check on google seems to suggest a problem with a java script is java up to date ?
