I'm not sure. Chris (AGD2) put together the install package. Maybe he can help.

Did you already install the files? Or are you trying to scan the Kq3_Redux10.exe file?

I'm not sure what that's all about, as I didn't put any password protection on the final version of the game.

What virus scanner do you use? Have you tried Googling the problem to see if it's a common issue with suggested solutions?

Failing that, I'm not really sure what to suggest, other than trying to download it again.

No i didn't install the files yet. I am trying to scan the KQ3_redux10.exe file. I am using Avast Antivirus. The exact message i get is some files could not be scanned. When i click on more information under status error: archive is password protected (42056)
I have tried google search couldn't find solution. And yes i redownloaded the game and get the same message.

I suppose installing it and THEN scanning it is out of the question? If not, you could do that.

Ok thanks anyway but apparently after more searching i discovered that this problem has happened before with other people using Avast antivirus.
So i installed Microsoft Security Essentials which was recommended for these type of files and after scanning it was an success.
