Hi!

When connecting to the gamespot Battlefield 2 download site - my virus
scanner goes berserk and reports malware in the script the site is
trying to run. Anyone else experienced this?

Thought I'd share with the group in case people don't have (up-to-date)
virus scanners.

If I remember correctly, Gamespot is associated with Gamespy, is this not
correct? If so, it's understandable since the Gamespy software is full of
malware/spyware. That's why I use ASE to look for servers.

the BF2 demo and the BF2 game itself has masses of info gathering on the
players gameplay, one way a Games company can see what people like
doing, and tailoring future games and patches to people tastes.

Gamespot isn't associated with Gamespy is it? I thought is was part of
the CNet network.
