At some online poker sites, it seems whenever I try to download the software, my virus scan program finds bad files and deletes them. This seems to happen at more than one site. For example, it happens at Pacific Poker and CD Poker among others. Is there a problem with the downloaded file, or is my anti-virus program just being overzealous?

For both programs, the one file which seems to be the problem is Casonline.dll. No one else has had this problem? Looks like it's some sort of spyware of adware.

Yeah, its your anti virus program being over zealous for sure. Mine used to crash everytime i opened Pacific, I contacted them and they told me i had to open a load of ports on the firewall, and no problem! The file you mention, comes up every time I scan too. You just have to make sure your program doesnt delete it.
There's just the one advert that pops up on Pacific when you close it down, an invite a friend promotion or something, thats all I ever see.
