Ive been seeing alot about this game so i thought id check it out and unfortunatly i got a trojan when i extracted the zip file is this normal? My AVG 8 is never wrong and updates every 4 hours so id like someone to explain why this file has a trojan in it.

Where did you download it from?
and AVG can generate false positives.

One thread per topic please.

No. Nexuiz does not include a trojan and never had done.

id like someone to explain why this file has a trojan in it.

a. You've downloaded a version that some unscrupulous person has loaded witha trojan. There are complete blithering idiots who do this on Warez sites despite Nexuiz being open source.

or

b. Your anti-virus is wrong.

See this thread how you can get the latest development version of Nexuiz for Windows, how to compile it on your own, and you'll see, that this game has no built in trojan or whatever.

Note, that a lot anti-virus are using a so called "heuristics", and maybe your AVG has got a false report because of this.
Also, Nexuiz 2.3 is outdated like it's stated above, get 2.4.2 as that's the newest version.
Trust me, I'm playing this game since 1.0, I've played every versions since then, I've built my own on my linux box from the source code, and since pure addiction, Nexuiz has never casused any harm

Oh noes he f0ndzor t3h secret weapon! Howz we will own the worldz now?

Seriously though, Tells us WHERE you downloaded this file and WHAT trojan you think it contains. And.. all anti virus software can be wrong. Oh and ONE thread abt the same thing is enough.
