Fonger Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 looks like somebody has installed a "folding at home" type screen saver http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_fahcore or you've been goody-2-shoes virused its all in the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltreU Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Caught, I did get FO3 and Dragon Age cracked. But I got rid (or thought I did) of them a while ago. Oblivion was purchased (20$ GOTYE), but has suffered major FPS issues due to these damned FahCores...seems to work, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illiad86 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Ah yeah Folding@Home, nothing wrong with that btw, I did some "science" for em lol, If you have an ATi card and you recently updated drivers...when you install it asks you if you want to install Folding@Home and a WoW or something free trial :rolleyes: Sometimes ya forget to untick those when you're flying through the install :tongue: Just like those stupid toolbars they always put into programs.

AltreU Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 I actually did have a WoW free trial, but I did that on my own. A friend of mine had this group that he was trying to recruit people to (back in high school, he'd ask EVERYONE). I usually never fly through installation, if I did, shame on me. I read up on the files yesterday and found that it was indefinitely something I shouldn't have. I got tired of the 360 versions of FO3 and DA, so I found BitTorrent cracked versions and tried 'em out. Guess that wasn't a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Guess that wasn't a good idea.Apply the fix or reformat, then pledge to never download a game EVER or face similar problems. Piracy isn't even supported by the pirates any more, just the leechers, so stuff like this is very frequent. I'm hoping that this is lesson learned.

Piracy isn't even supported by the pirates any more, just the leechers, so stuff like this is very frequent. I'm hoping that this is lesson learned. Like I said, seems to work. Actually, it does work-completely. Might be because I went directly to the registry and eliminated any trace of that mistake from my pc. As I said on another forum, I have no reason to get another game by the same means. Got 'em months ago anyway, removed not too long after. That was before I had a profile on here. Pledge to never pirate games? Psh, I don't even know what it means to pirate anymore.http://thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/Dark/thumbsup.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
