hmm, well I would rather have that than having it blocked. Maybe uninstalling AVG, then reinstalling, so ith as a new virus list.... I dont know anymore, I need help from someone who really knows what they are doing.

I still dont get it.Why is it happening 2day when yesterday it was just fine.Maybe checking the official silkroad forums u can find ppl with these same problems am sure of it.

AVG's virus database has been updated today, and that's what is keeping you from uninstalling. I'm getting it too and if i'm right this is whats happening:
- The installation is just fine for the first 98%
- SRO_Client is being installed as one of the last items
- AVG detects the virus, aborts the installation and leaves you with nothing.

I had the same and was like wtf! Then i opened the Silkroad folder while it was installing, got the popup warning from AVG, clicked heal and watched the folder getting emptied.
So the installation is aborted because of the virus, that's what's keeping us from installing sro.

I've downloaded my client from Gamershell btw

hmm, I wonder why so many people are getting the trojan alert at the same time

EDIT: sry, didn't see the AVG Posts, DAM YOU AVG

rumpleKillskin · **Joined:** Jun 2007 **Posts:** 1934 **Location:**

its because everyone with AVG virus scanners are detecting them. Its because AVG updated today, and I guess now SRO is a threat lol :banghead:

I know if you turn of AVG, you can get in, but thats stupid

I'd say: change antivirus program then (: I switched to Nod32 & I could install SRO.

I am in the same boat. Got the trojan warning - turned avg off - tried to start and got an error. Uninstalled client now goes through the whole install and right at the end poof gone the whole folder and everything. It isn't the client because I dl'd 3 versions tried them all. Made folders other than the default program files/silkroad still failed, tried it on my second harddrive failed.

Running a virus scan now but I suspect it is avg causing the install to fail.

ticket time is ticking.

Uninstall AVG and get kaskerspy or something. You really don't need an antivirus if you know what your downloading and if you dont watch pron your ok lol

well, Im downloading it from filefront, which they advertise on the main webpage, so I think im fine??

I think they mean only the p2p download, but i don't know whether that helps because if i understand p2p correctly you download from other users pc's, so you still get an infected client.
