Disabling adblock allows the post-install activation code window to display.

Magitech,

What does your scan result mean? Is there an information reporter of some sort within the archive? Is there something embedded into the game code?

I am curious. I have heard of false identifications before, I wonder what this is. I do not want processes covertly (or overtly!) transmitting my data & info.

Or is this simply a posting of a circumstance where 'X' program was preventing an install?

Basically it's preventing an HTTP popup from occuring which is part of the website registration process. As the above poster said, disable your ad disabling software temporarily, complete the registration and you should be fine. Good luck!
