This is a website that offers games to play. It's a free download. I've used others like it from places like Arcamax that are safe. As soon as I downloaded the installer, my virus protection popped up a warning about a virus in the program. I sent an email to the company from their webpage "contact us" link, and it came back to my email box as undeliverable! It isn't too serious...the virus protection says its a malware worm and risk is low, but how aggravating!

Thanks for the heads up. A lot of GPT sites offer free trials for their services. I wonder why that had been caught before now.
