Ok, turned my computer on this morning and anti-virus detected a generic Trojan virus in Freelancer.exe and auto-deleted it. No big deal, likely a false alarm so just a matter of reinstall. So, complete wipe and uninstall of Crossfire 1.8, FLMM 1.31, and Freelancer [making sure to remove residual folders and reg entries]. Reinstall Freelancer, apply patch, reinstall FLMM, reinstall Crossfire 1.8
During the activation, antivirus detects Trojan again in Freelancer.exe and FLMM aborts the activation. No way to turn off antivirus from the AV console. No big deal. Do it in Safe Mode. Remove everything [again] restart in Safe Mode. Reinstall Freelancer, FLMM, Crossfire. During activation, FLMM hangs up about 60% of the way thru and becomes "Not Responding".
Attempt#3: Uninstall everything [yet again], uninstall antivirus. Reinstall Freelancer, FLMM, Crossfire 1.8. During activation, FLMM goes "Not Responding" and hangs up [went out for dinner for an hour, came back, still at 60%].
Attempt#4: redownload FLMM and mod. Wipe evrything again. Reinstall Freelancer, fresh copy of FLMM 1.31, fresh copy of Crossfire. During activation, FLMM hangs at about 60%.
Any ideas?
