lol, EA didn't put that there. It's a virus, viruses 'put themselves' in all sorts of locations to try and be inconspicuous.

I highly doubt it's a virus. Your scanner just thinks it is, so it removed it.

my guess is false positive or a virus disguising itself in PB. EA & PB would be sued into oblivion if they put a virus in there

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

oh they wouldn't get sued, they would get raped by the 100,000+ bf2 players all suing them 1 by 1.

They would have not even the cloths on there backs if they put virus's on our comps

Where?

Yeah, that wasn't EA. EA had adware in 2142, but it doesn't do anything harmful to your PC. Unless you count venting your frustration on your PC.

Computer users have been warned for years about virus threats from downloading Internet porn and opening suspicious e-mail attachments. Now they run the risk of picking up a digital infection just by plugging a new gizmo into their PCs.

In most cases, Chinese factories -- where many companies have turned to keep prices low -- are the source.

I've had enough of China's deception.

Ready the tactical nukes.
