Kaspersky Anti Virus Personal says:
Access to the object C:\...blablablah\Castle.exe is blocked. Object is infected with a virus Virus.Win32.Parite.b. It is recommended to disinfect this object.

Is this a real virus warning or just false alarm?

No viruses.

Good question and I am glad you wrote. There are no viruses in this project, and althought his may sound weird, if you do not trust the program I stromgly advise you to find a way to scan your system for "any thing" or do not run the program(not to sound rude or harsh). I dont want you to suffer because of my errors/mistakes. But what I believe what is happening is: there is a line of code that "talks" directly to your default web browser. When the code is activated a signal is sent to the browser and an HTML is opened form the web. That code segment may "look" like a virus to a protection system causing it to report a warning.

Sorry to any one who have came across this warning , the code is sound, and once again thank you for the notice.

After I unzipped it my antivirus said it found something, then repaired it...
After that it ran just fine (no, I don't think you put any viruses in it :))

The controls work pretty well for this game, and the levels' colors and architecture look great, only problem is it runs pretty slow (AthlonXP 3000+, 1GB RAM, 9700 Pro) unless I make the window really small.

The online data for stuff is pretty cool and it's a nice looking website, if the speed could be improved it I think there's a lot of potential here.
