Win32/PSW.Lineage.DN/ PWS-Lineage
Had a game called Air Conflicts installed on my PC (Vista Home
Premium) and it worked very happily, I got bored with the game and removed it. Have had some young relatives staying so decided to re-install it for them. It installed fine but when I try to use it I get "ac.exe has stopped working" followed by a message from Microsoft saying "Virus alert: Microsoft detected the Win32/PSW.Lineage.DN/ PWS-Lineage virus on your computer This problem was caused by Win32/PSW.Lineage.DN/ PWS-Lineage, a known computer virus. Solution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To prevent this problem from occurring again, install and run an up-to-date antivirus program on your computer.

The install was from the same disc as my first install. Googled for an answer but only found other people with games getting the same message. Any solution greatly appreciated !! TIA |
