    Installed Microsoft Security Essentials, and Warbirds no longer works.
    The launcher runs OK until I try to enter an arena.
    When I try to enter arena, I get small dialog that says

    "Error: 6"

    Related to Microsoft Security Essentials? Maybe, Will investigate today with another machine and a fresh install of WB / FH.

    Other thing is that the MSE is rly fast av but you will have a lot of garbage in your pc soon. Tested by me and my friends (some of them are professionals from virus-scene). It's better than nothing but worse than a rivals. If you want rly good antivir for free, try AVAST (free for home) or AVIRA. Of course with a firewall (f.e. Zone Alarm Free).

    While using MSWindows I use Zonealarm free firewall and ClamAV and am behind a router. I sandbox my internet browser by running Tinycore [3.2+] Linux in a Virtual Machine and using Firefox from within the Linux Client.
    In Linux I use ClamAV and iptables firewall [yes, with a nice simple GUI]. The firewall might protect my OS and PC from something that creeps past the router, I dunno. I only use ClamAV to protect MSWindows users on the other side of my router, in case I might pass on a USELESS MSWindows mallware contained in something that is passing through my PC. I don't owe anything to MS Users, but I practice safe computer sex...

    Exec should make a thread topic where he posts the server's findings on people.

    Who was that dnarna guy who had a f6f35 cockpit message?

    Sure, Common Sense... But what the heck is %unnecessary activity%

    I wasn't running anything but FH Launcher, and picking my nose.

    Well.. THERE'S the problem;

    Nose pickers and mouth breathers shouldn't be playing this game...

    There's an automatic limit as to how many of each can play in any given TOD.


    :D
