	Really?  Funny... I've had the game since the first day it came 
out, and played it quite a bit.  And since I'm typing on my terminal 
right now, I think it's quite fine.  I scan everything I get from the 
net, and McAfee Scan says Tyrian's A-OK.  

	Quit listening to rumors like that.  If the game really did have 
a virus, we'd have tons of people complaining and yelling at Epic for 
it.
