My child is addicted to it and all his mates have it so yep, you guessed it.
Tonight I caved in.

Registered at minecraft.net which appeared legit, weird you have to register just to download and pay but anyway... I was sure I had the official site.
After registration, I got the link to my email which I clicked on and computer froze (does not go to that URL, does not open browser at all)

Now I see malware (stij.exe) ... yay... so is minecraft safe or is it full of crap like that? I assumed it would be safe being so well used by many

Does anyone know a safe download location - especially if I am going to pay for it with credit card

I don't play it but that does look like their site. I would find a technical help email and ask, especially if you paid.

Thanks peeps.
Will try that Johhny.
yes Hayden I thougt I was in the right place and lucky hadn't paid yet. I now think maybe the virus has come from elsewhere (damn kids on computers grr)

I cannot believe it has become so popular. The store page to buy it won't fully load and it goes slower than a wet week.
Help shows fk-all
Then go to minecraft forums to try and get help. ....and your Minecraft / Mojang log in does not work on the forums you have to register separately.

What knob wrote it and how the hell did they get $30 off every kid in the world with such a poor service?

Unfkbelieveable.

I am a computer retard, would everyone like to send me $30 please.

...I'm in...what's your bank account details.....
