NOT certain, laptop is being looked at now, but i only downloaded it, then it said there were some updates, i downloaded them, then turned it off, it wont turn back on, windows crashes every time and the fault is consistent with hard drive being scrap due to a download, the warning is just in case, so people can get their anti virus stuff up and running. ill buy another hdd, no big deal. im not blaming the game, as im not certain at all, but just in case.
