Sometimes Antivrus programs are too hyperprotective. it happened to me often that my Norton Antivurs found a virus in my poker software or in other applications which was not a real virus. Generally speaking when a programs needs an internet connections and where you send personal information on the net like a poker client the antivurs can find some threats to your secuity, but generally are false threats.So don't be discouraged by that and I actually suggest you to continue to play on Action Poker. Maybe just make a system scan for virus first.

I am not from Action Poker or BRM support, but i have noticed that some anti-virus programs detect password protected files as trojans. Which AV are you using, AVG has a history of showing too many false positives, recently someone said that BitDefender is showing Trojan for Action Poker, and I don`t like this case only because nobody from Action Poker has ever indulged anyone and put some explanation about this.

Posted by RIPStuNov22: It's a problem with the 'heuristics' scans. Many Playtech sites and Everest Casino have the same issues
You need to whitelist the program for it to work.
I don`t get any errors with Playtech or Everest. Only 2 clients register some sort of "malicious" activity. Previously mentioned network on which is Action Poker and Chartwell. AP network throws password protected files and Chartwell throws hidden data sending when exiting from software.
