So I just got some new anti virus stuff I made an account first but when I went to do the download my anti virus said that it was a potentially dangerous download that contained spyware, malware, and other viruses. Is my antivirus just being slightly over protective or should I just play it safe and not download at all.

No need to fear, it's just being good and warning you of potential dangers since it came from the internet. But it was good for you just to double check. I always say: "It's better to be safe than sorry!"

No virus here in this game for me. Don't worry pirate our Buccaneers will deal with these bugs to keep your game safe.

I've been playing p101 on the same computer since the game was in Beta and have had no issues. You're safe.

No. I have played Wizard for over 4 1/2 years and Pirates now for about a month. These games are totally safe to download and not subject to viruses of any kind. The warning you received is a generic warning for any program you download and should just be ignored in this case. Have fun!
