DaEarth, are you still having issues with the missing file? I think I would agree with Runey on this issue it indeed sounds like your antivirus is flagging it as either a PUP or a Virus and has either quarantined the file or removed it altogether. I'm not sure which antivirus you are running however if you like myself are running Norton I believe the steps you should take are as follows: Open your antivirus and navigate to either "History" or "Firewall" and try to find the event log mentioning the missing file... There should be a "More options" button (Or something similar) if you click it there should be a "Restore file/folder" option, if you click that you should then be given the option to add the file in question to the ignore list and your antivirus should then ignore the file from that moment onward... Unless you reinstall your antivirus in which case your settings may revert to a "fresh install" state and you may end up having to follow the steps anew.

Hope it helps. :)

You can also manually add the file(s) to your antivirus' ignore list but the steps to do that are a little more involved so if the steps I mentioned earlier don't work you can reply to this message and I will do my best to help you with your issue. :)

For clarification; Antivirus programs often flag a safe file as being a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) or Virus merely as a safety precaution... It seems to think anything it doesn't know or understand must therefore be something malicious and instead of risking the thing it doesn't know harming your computer it just says "Ok, I don't know what you are so I'm going to put you over here until I can figure out what to do with you." Unfortunately this most often happens with things we actually want to use and are for the most part as unsafe as a plush stuffed animal is to a small child (jokes). So don't be afraid if your antivirus flags something, it just means it doesn't know what it is and is doing what it can to protect you from the stuffed animals. (Ooh scary!) :P 


(EDIT) UNLESS YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE THE ITEM IN QUESTION (As in you didn't install the program or file and have no idea what it is or where it came from), IN WHICH CASE YOU SHOULDN'T CHANGE YOUR ANTIVIRUS' SETTINGS AS IT MAY IN FACT BE A VIRUS! O_O (Sorry forgot to mention that... whew) 

All files relating to this game should be safe as I'm sure Runey wouldn't make a game as good as this one (It's really good by the way Runey, Just wanted to reiterate :P) just to make a virus and install it in your stuff.
