www.destructoid.com/rumor-iwnet-giving-modern-warfare-2-players-viruses-155482.phtml>The ghost of dedicated servers continues to haunt Modern Warfare 2, as the flawless IWNet has been apparently struck down with a Trojan virus. Infinity Ward's replacement for dedicated servers has allegedly been hacked by a nefarious MW2 clan who are using a mixture of DLL files and guest clients' open ports in order to spread the Trojan to those who log into IWNEt and play the game. >There is a chance that it's simply an Antivirus program picking up something benign. Tech savvy gamers are trying to find the root of the issue, but there is a fear spreading, and people are warned to be careful when playing Modern Warfare 2 on a PC. >Real or not, this is not something Infinity Ward will live down easily. After promoting IWNEt as a better alternative to PC gamers' beloved dedicated servers, the last thing IW needs is a Trojan infesting the service. Still, that's what happens when you spring a whole new service on people a month before a game's launch. While I may not fully support all the complaints and boycotting over MW2, I can certainly agree that this is very shoddy stuff indeed. This may actually not be a rumor, I have heard from friends that they've gotten Virus warnings when nothing but MW2 is running.

Anything else makes you look pety If the 360 and PS3 versions both get them, there's no good reason as to why the PC version shouldn't have them as well. That said... yeah, this sort of retaliation is going WAY too far.
