    Reinstall POL ?

    This morning i opened up POL it worked fine no problems, I took it off went out came back and opened it again and now its saying a missing file from POL is missing please reinstall. I talked to my LS about it and one of my members said that it could be a trogan in my computer thats there so when i reinstall it and enter my POL ID and PASS it sends it to whom ever and thats how they steal my info. Any info on this because i don't have the cds to reinstall i downloaded this on my laptop a year ago.

    do a check files at the start of pol... you can get that far right? if not... um thats odd, i can provide you with the isos to reinstall if you want, but idk about a trojan, are you running an up to date antivirus?

    also thats an awfully redundant error message >.> a missing file is missing!!!!!

    Honestly? If you suspect you have a trojan, reformat.

    I had the same thing happen to me today too. No idia wtf is going on. Firewall poped up too when I opened it, ran my anti-virus, found nothing, restarted my computer, and now it's telling me to reinstall as well.

    Which anti-virus are you using?

    Re: Reinstall POL ?

    Now i can't even uninstall POL off my laptop, and can't reformat cause this laptop didn't come with a cd to reformat (weird). I'm trying to use my desktop reformat disk but its not working, any ideas?
