Command and Conquer the ultimate collection VIRUS IN THE DOWNLOAD!

Ok this is what it is.

There is a virus attached to the red alert 2 download through origin (c&c ultimate)

Actually 2 viruses each attached to the exe files 'ra2' and 'uri'

so either let the virus have your pc and play ra2 or dont play ra2

this seems to me a pretty serious issue.

i have downloaded 2 times and tried the repair install. each time my antivirus screams at me.

i turned off my anti virus and game works fine but the virus is real ( i had to recover my harddrive)

I am having the same issues. I move the virus's to the "quarantine" section but i cant install the game after I download it. 

This is some serious BS.

Spend 50$ on a game...turns out to be a virus.

Anyone who reads this download at your own risk until ea does something about it

Chill, guys. Whatever this is this is most assuredly not a virus. It may look like one to your antivirus but it's most likely just some sloppy programming.

No. It is a real virus.

I found out the hard way. Had to restore my pc.

Please atleast read what i wrote before posting as i already said this.

"virus.win32.suspic.gen" - this is the exact virus that is in the download.

Hmm... My apologies, you're right. Somehow EA must have gotten its servers infiltrated.

Edit: I asked EA_Cire the C&C community manager for further info/clarification. I'll post what he says here, if he answers.

hopefully this gets fixed soon and the virus doesnt do too much harm

one positive is the virus is older and i dont see how any decent anti virus program wouldnt catch it

I just installed it from Origin, no issues. Ran my antivirus and a few mal-ware checkers and nothing was found. At what point, when downloading and installing from Origin, did your computer tell you that you had a virus?

Hey,

same Problem here.

Yuri.exe

Ra2.exe

RA2md.exe

RA2Launcher.exe
