I've just tried installing BD and as soon as the disk goes in I get the message that there's a trojan tsunami 100 within the files. I've run all manner of tests regarding trojans,viruses and worms and my pc comes up with nothing. Also tried on-line scanners and trojan removers.
Anyone have any ideas as to what's happening?????

It sounds like a false positive, with your anti-virus program misidentifying something in the install program. Try updating your virus definitions, if you have not already done so.
I would just disable real-time scanning before installing the game (actually, I've never enabled real time scanning).

AVG with the latest virus definitions did not find a virus (UK version).

Hi Raze
I have all the latest definitions from AVG . I disabled avg and zone alarm before installing. No joy.
I've just had to purchase a bit of software to detect what's wrong as 'Spybot Search and Destroy' and 'Adaware' did not pick up the trojan. I also have 'trojan hunter'( again with all latest definitions) and even that did not pick it up. Run new software and then installed BD.First off got that message again about the trojan, pressed clean on the dialogue box that came up and then.............BD installed!!!!!!!!!.
Just hope that everytime I start the game I don't have to go through the same rigmaroll !

I would have just shut down whatever was popping up the message, but I'm glad you got it working. The play disk should not trigger the same response that the install disk did.
