I downloaded the aquaria trial and have been getting a peculiar virus detected by comodo. Whenever I install aquaria Comodo detects Heur.Pck.Molebox as a virus and I quarantine it. I do not know what Heur.Pck.Molebox is but I only downloaded the trial from the bit-blot so I don't know how I could have contracted it unless it came from the bit-blot mirror. Does anyone know what is happening? Derek?

Looks like it's trying to say Aquaria uses Molebox (Heuristics-Pack-Molebox).  It's probably a general warning that it's using a packing technique similar to Molebox.  I guess Aquaria might even use Molebox itself.

Molebox is a tool some games use to pack all assets into one big file:  http://www.molebox.com/

BTW; The "Heur" in "Heur.Pck.Molebox" means Heuristics; in other words, Comodo doesn't detect Aquaria as a virus, it just detects some suspicious signs(in this case, the executable being packed with Molebox).

So, not really much you can do except turning off heuristics, or switching your anti-virus software(which is not really practical...)

Yeah, we used Molebox. Not a virus.  Smiley

Right on, I have that taken care of now. However, I have a different problem if anyone can help me, I can't get Aquaria to launch unless I set the monitor resolution to Aquaria's set resolution in the ATI catalyst control center. If I try to launch it from the desktop icon without changing the resolution first it just gives me a black screen and I have to restart the computer. I get he same issue with Eschalon: Book 1 as well.

Have you tried updating drivers?

Update drivers... also check the bit blot support forums. There are some settings that people have found work better than others.

Yeah these are the newest ATI Catalyst drivers (9.4) but I have come to find that ATI seems not to release the greatest stable drivers. I think I might have to revert back to 9.3 or 9.2. I'll check the bit-blot forums and see what I can find as well, thanks guys.
