Re: Does Atmosphir contain Trojans?

1. It looks pretty reliable. There's some news articles about it, plus a search for "atmosphir viruses" brings up nothing, so I doubt it.

2. It should work.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Ok, because around the time I started using Atmosphir we started experiencing McAfee saying it was blocking trojans. I was also thinking it seemed to reliable and if any major there would be less players, etc.

Re: Does Atmosphir contain Trojans?

Atmosphir from the official site does not contain Trojans. If you try and get it from another site you should check to make sure it is the legit file (preferably by checking the MD5 sum with the official MD5 sum.

McAfee is the worst piece of software I've ever encountered in my entire life. I'd recommend AVG.


I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

atmosphir.com redirevted to atmosphir.com/atmosphir.

However, since it has the forums, design section, play section, most recently popular section and other stuffs, I think it's the right one.

Well I use it, and I only experience Trojan reports with one of the computers I've played on.
