Hi all, just a heads up for any members who have purchased any LDW games through Big Fish. McAfee AV has mistakenly identified all games as Trojans and has removed them from your computers and redownloading is ineffective. (SOB)

At the moment no updates are available, just assurances that McAfee and Big Fish are working on a resolution.

I'm going through major VV withdrawels right now, (gasp, gasp) but wanted to alert any one here that may be affected too.

<grump> That's typical behaviour for McAfee and why I won't have it on my computer.

What a long dreary day...My only game not affected by McAfee is VV3 which I bought directly from here...Wish I knew then what I know now!! I just worry that when the repair is issued I'll be able to find all the reactivation codes buried in my mailbox. Oh well, I've got plenty of time to sift through them. Happy Holidays everyone.
