Hi Help,

At first glance it's possible you have a virus, or that your virus
scanner is corrupting the download by scanning it while your
are in the process of downloading and/or installing the patch.

|I recently installed a new motherboard, got a new harddrive, and reinstalled windows. I installed BF1942, and Warcraft III, but I 
cant install either of their patches. For BF1942 I get a message that the executable is corrupt and I need to get another version of 
the patch, however I got this patch from the official site and after downloading the patch many times from many places it still does 
not work. Also when I attempt to install the Warcraft III frozen throne patch I get the message that it is "unable to authenticate 
archive". I have a feeling the problem isnt the patches themselves, rather some problem with my computer, any ideas?
