Viruses?
Okay, I was playing Warcraft III yesterday for old times sake. I played a few undead campaign missions, and then stopped when I got to the last one, when you have to defend Kel-Thuzzad for 30 minutes while the entire goddamn Alliance comes at you from every angle.
After a few hours, I decided to play again, only to find that my computer could no longer read the game in the disc drive? It would tell me to enter the CD and try again, and simultaneously AVG would tell me I had gotten a trojan horse virus somehow.
I had downloaded some stuff, yes, but I had only started downloading some torrents of The Office off isohunt. Did that give me a trojan?
Either way, I've scanned and healed my computer, but it still won't play. Anyone ever hear of anything like this before?

You should install VLC.
Seconded.
Or, you know, just use the greatest computer of the early nineties:
And for the record, the custom maps are the only really good part of warcraft III.
Seriously, AVG did the same to your friend? Maybe the problem is AVG then?
Is it just me or does anyone else TOTALLY SUCK AT THAT GAME BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ALL THE BUILDINGS AND UNITS MACRO'ED AND SHIT?
NAWT FUN.
It's kind of hard to describe, but I can draw parallels to other games. You know in DDR how fast your feet go when you do Paranoia Survivor Max on Oni? That was my friend's left hand across his entire keyboard. And the game had just started, nobody was even attacking him. He was micromanaging his research, building growth, and wood and gold acquisition down to the second, while at the same time sending out random offensive parties just to piss off and slow down his opponents. I consider myself a fairly experienced gamer, and I have trouble wrapping my mind around the simultaneous processes and actions he had going on in his mind at once.
I also played a devastating Warcraft III round against a friend from work a few months ago, who quoted himself as "okay".
I was dead in six minutes.
Now, in my own defense, it was my first time playing in well over a year. He was like "what the hell, you don't have your hero yet! What are you doing?" But even if I remembered what I was doing, it would've only delayed the inevitable by two, three minutes max.
They're just that good here.
I'm gonna try to not suck at it tonight
I don't play games competitively. I prefer to play coop.
True, It would make for a pretty even matched game
Ill look and see if i cant find a patch or something so I can get on EU Realms or something
