The program can't start because ___ is missing from your computer - fix.

Hi all!

Some people are getting this error when they are trying to run the game:



This is most probably caused by the antivirus interfering with the running of the game. So far, we have only seen this happening if you have Symantec Endpoint Protection. The solution for this error would be to change your antivirus to another one. You can get some of those, like AVG and NOD 32, from our downloads website here:

But another ones like Avast work too. If you are getting this error with any other antivirus, please let us know. That is all for now.

Hi there,

Eek! Did you just recommend "AVG"? Shame on you.
Also free alternatives: Avast! and Microsoft Security Essentials. (Basic, but better than nothing...)
Oh and, while the free version does not include anti-virus scanning, Spybot Search & Destroy is also a wonderful piece of software, which I highly recommend!
