    Uninstall Chaos Theory completely. Reboot your computer. Turn your antivirus program off. Reinstall Chaos Theory. Problem should be solved. W95.puron@mm is an obsolete virus originally written to take advantage of a Windows 95 vulnerability. Most antivirus companies don't even have any details on it anymore, but a google search showed me a similar problem with another game. Always turn your antivirus off when installing a game. It's detecting something in this game falsely as a virus, quite possibly the interactive advertising feature in CT.
