Hey everyone,
I have been having problems with spyware and adware being on my computer and have been trying to get rid of it. Since then I have not been able to get my stats to update-the game does not seem to recognize me being online(I have an always-on broadband connection).
Can anyone tell me what the name of the file or program the game uses to connect so I can make sure it has 'permission'? This has been frustrating because certain programs must be able to connect to the internet. It is hard to try and separate the harmless programs from the problem-causing ones. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to be able to update my stats.
Thanks.

It's not a problem with your computer. See this thread.

However, the game itself (Virtual Villagers - The Lost Children.exe) does the sending and receiving, so it will ordinarily work if the game has permission to access the Internet.

oops, I saw another thread on this topic and I guess the server is down. Sorry I did not see that before posting!
