For me AVG said there's a virus in the setup.exe file. I ignored it at went ahead to install, but that failed after it said it couldn't detect one of the bin files. After that I went through the trouble to clean my PC from several trojan's I got from the setup.
Still waiting for a proper release - the game from the makers of Steel Fury should be pretty solid.

The FiGHTCLUB release has no viruses in it and works without any bumps.

Works fine here. No trojans and viruses but as thyttel said it is harder to play this game than actually drive the tank!

Got it from another source, it installed and works correctly. I agree on the UI though - a lot more complex than in Steel Fury. It will take some time to get used to. Some sound effects, for example MG fire, are questionable to say the least.
