Help anyone?

[dael8]

So yeah, I need help, for some bloody stupid reason, Wc3 uninstalled itself, Everytime I try to reinstall it comes up as a virus and doesn't work, even though it's installed, I can still play wc3 ROC, I'm not sure about online play, but it says it's not installed and TFT won't install, any ideas on how to make it work again, It would be much obliged. And obsivously, I won't be able to get onto wc3 untill I think this problem, I'm thinking a Reformat is the best option, I Haven't done one for years either, but I want another choice before I go further into the water.

Same thing happened to me. I have gotten wc3 ROC redownloaded from blizzards site but the problem is i dont have my cd key for TFT so i cant upload it.

Also my plan was to go down to my friends house and use his account to do upload it to my computer

dael...that happened to me as well. virus protection it deleted all of my shortcuts for warcraft III.
blizzard update gone wrong yet again i think
heres what i did
go to the warcraft III folder
and open war3.exe
u should create new shortcuts and they should work.

'Ight, so I won't be on wc3 for ages, because it completely removed the game from my computer, I just have to install TFT, which is proving to be hard, because my copy is so banged up it stops half way through install, So either I get another copy or keeping going at it, we'll see what happens,

Dael, that is screwed up beyond belief. Games do NOT 'uninstall themselves'. You need to give the OK for a file to be permanently removed one way or another. Have you tried running your search engine to look for remnant files? Of course this could indeed be a virus, they are very capable of destroying files -- but I've never heard of them wiping out an entire piece of software. You might need to reformat, get a new copy, or both. This sounds like very serious business, even if it is another Blizzard patch gone horribly wrong.

Seriously though, I couldn't believe that Blizzard would screw it up THAT badly. I mean, they did shut down DotA and alot of other games either temporarily or permanently (depending on the community support), but they wouldn't do shit like that. If this was an update I'd take a good look at where you got it from. I download all my updates the old fashioned way, just by logging onto B.net and letting it happen automatically and nothings ever gone wrong.

Well, seto, It wasn't a virus, My computer auto virus scan, search and destory... eta at 3 am, I got another copy and it's installed and all, but it won't let me play on us-east... us-west works, I'm not sure about the others I don't care about them, anyway to fix it..?

And I also download it that way, seto-poo.

Dael, if you have AVG running on ur system, then that may be why
this is on the Hiveworkshop home page:

If you have AVG and pick up a Trojan Horse Generic 16 then it is a fake virus intended to delete all working Warcraft exe's from your computer.

It even deletes your new installed Warcraft files. It is an error.
