Hi Tomega,
That's reassuring to read.. although I suspect you've just installed an
update that is slated to be included in Service Pack 3, similar to how
we were installing individual updates that were to be included later in
Service Pack 2. In anycase, after you've completed a scan, go ahead
and uninstall the Spellforce game which seems to have started the issue.
