What have you changed to your system since you last played it?

Well there's a 50% chance it is, and a 50% it isn't.

How about telling the name of the program and what it did to your system?

A keygenerator.

Those can or can not contain viruses.. All depends on where you got it from. I suggest you lay off the illegal software if you have no idea what the risks are.

it is a virus indeed ...caused by that keygenerator itself..
now,after the virus is removed..everything is fine..

thanks for your help Raptor...

That's why they make sure there are no viruses on legal software.  ;)
