The New Sudoku Players' Forum

I purchased Pappocom Sudoku, perhaps a year or so ago, and have been using it regularly ever since.

Today when I attempted to continue working on a game that I had started last night, my antivirus software (AVG) popped up a warning that it had detected a trojan. In the process of repairing the problem it erased the Sudoku executable.

Is this a known problem? If I reinstall am I likely to have the same issue? What's going on here?

There have been similar reports with possible solutions in the following threads:

FWIW, my AV software reports periodically that it blocked an attack while I'm visiting this forum. It reported it twice during just this log-in session. The source may simply be attacking any active address assigned to my ISP, but it's possible that there's another explanation.

The EXACT same thing just happened to me, one day later. I followed your instructions and was back up-n-running in no time. Thanks for posting the fix.
