dunno bout firefox but in chrome it is more discouraging the way it says it. here i found a pic on the net



it doesnt have a multiple choice to choose from ( at first sight anyways)
just says is malicius and click dismiss.
you click the dropdownmenu then select, save to computer anyway or something like that.

Hm, i installed chrome just before my previous message, tried that and didn't get this error.
Here's what i get:


Where do you download combat from? Server main page? ftp.war2.ru? Or anywhere else?

you probably got the error long ago and override it. once you do that its added to chrome exceptions

i don't have another computer to try this out at the moment.
I highly doubt goggle chrome have changed and labelled war2combat safe now, its a possiblity but doubt it.

Anyway, let me know (including screenshots) antivirus warnings for any parts of combat or any other war2 software.

What i know is norton avtivirus warning against WPpatch.exe.
I'll think about to remove WPpatch.exe from next combat version or to change it to anything else.

I am talking about GOGGLE CHROME

When you start the download with goggle chrome
goggle? seriously?

I've picked up on that as well, he always said that on the occult forums too.

On topic though, I believe my windows 7 laptop had this issue on chrome, but my windows 8 laptop didn't. So it seems pretty random at times with which pc this message saying war2combat is malicious will pop up on.

1 of my friends that I got to download the game also ran into this issue, and was a bit worried to install the game because of it, to which I directed her to some old occult posts saying that it's okay to run.

 iL, Ganz tried and it didnt warn anything

and, I made a new user in control panel, logged onto that user and tried to download (which technically is the same as if it was another computer) and also didnt get a warning. thats 3.

i think it's safe to say goggle chrome no longer has war2combat on its malicious software list


btw. whats war2combat400.exe on the ftp?
whats new?
