I don't know the problem specifically, but when I try to run the game, my antivirus (AVG) alerts me that it's a Trojan virus. This prevents me from playing the game.
This is same with Dreamscape.

It must be a false positive.
You need to tell me what is your antivirus exact name and when exactly it happens.

Is this Norton?
If so I'll submit the games so they can add it to their white list.

No. I'm sure it isn't Norton (haven't installed that, ever). I'll wait for any news about this. I'm excited to resume Dreamscape, play 3 Stars and Ella's Hope (also affected by this phenomenon).

But LF1/2, Asguaard and Millennium1/2 aren't affected, right?

Well please give me the complete name of that software you use and I'll see what I can do.

Have you tried adding the exe file of each game in your antivirus exception's list?

I have kaspersky and I have to do that with some games, and other people I know with other antivirus have to do it too.

On my side I'll do what's necessary when I get the exact name of the AV. ^^

AVG Antivirus 9.0. That is my antivirus. I don't think there's an exemption list there.

I can play Asguaard fine, though. I really don't know why. I'm having so much fun (and a lot of head-to-table-banging) moments when I play, and those are some sort of stress-reliever for me. I hope I can play soon.
So many games, so little time.

P.S. (Edit)
I haven't tried LF and Millenium yet... Maybe I'll have a go at them, too.

Yes that would be worth trying. ^^

Any chance you can ask your AV to see those games as "exceptions"?

The Antivirus i have doesn't have an exemption list. Even if I disable the process, it still blocks it. Kinda frustrating, but it's what protects my computer (My computer uses an active connection and is downloading 24/7... so there).

I'm going to contact them when I get some time.
Until then, feel free to try the games that are not blocked lol

That's it. I'm going to hunt LF and MIllenium down. Until I can play again all of those darn good games I'm going to finish Asguaard. Or study. It's a difficult choice.
