Could hotmail think files changed by dalekeeper are a virus?

[bigdndfan]

I tried to attach my Icewind dale saved game to hotmail and it's not allowing me because I'm told they is infected with a virus. I scanned the files with Norton (newly updated) and they seem to be clear from viruses.

Do you think it's possible Dalekeepr is seen as a virus? Every time I run it a mesage pops up saying they don't recognize the creators of the software.

Though,when I try to move the saved files from disk to my hard drive the disk is read by my computer as unreadable. I tried with two different disks.

bigdndfan,

Sounds like you have virus or a HW problem, though I doubt that Dalekeeper is the culprit (unless it is infected by the virus).

1.) Try attaching a game file that has not been modified by DK.
2.) If that works: try modifying that same file with DK and then open with IWD and re-save, then send that file.
3.) Finally, modify the same file with DK and then send.

If no attempts to send are successful, then I would highly suspect a virus or possibly an overly aggressive filter in Hotmail.

If only Step 1. works, then I would suspect a virus has gotten to DK.

If only Step 1. and 2. work, then, again, I would suspect Hotmail's filter.

(If all three steps work, then your problem has gone away.)

Hope this helps.
