SOS, need help

[Virus]

Best thing to do?

Do a complete uninstall of Freelancer. EVERYTHING.
Same with the Mod Manager.
Reinstall Freelancer
Find and download the most recent version of the mod manager (3.1, I think).
Redownload and unzip the mod into the mod manager.
Use the mod manager to activate the mod.
Boom, should work.

.. I don't understand how the readme isn't useful...

-Uninstall Freelancer using the Setup.exe file.

Go to the following directory, C:\WINDOWS\system32 and delete the file l3codecp.acm. If there happens to be another file named l3codeca.acm, delete this too.

If your system is Windows 98 or ME, open the system.ini file located in your system folder; C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. Delete ONLY the line that starts with msacm.l3acm=. In the case of the Nimo codec pack, this will read msacm.l3acm=l3codecp.acm

If your system is Windows 2000 or XP, open the system registry editor (regedit) from the RUN command window.
Locate and delete the following key: \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\msacm.l3acm

Load the Freelancer installation CD and locate the REDIST folder. Within the REDIST folder, double click on the file named WMFADist.exe and follow on-screen instructions.

Install Freelancer.

Igiss, perhaps you should put the above into the Readme? Found is on the XPLOSIV website.

Last I purchased FL, it came from these guys on a disk with their logo, not Micro$oft.
