Well if you thikn its a virus, scan away! http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Also, how exactly doesn't it work? Does it dump to desktop without showing anything? Do you see the menu, and it locks up? etc...?

ummm, instead of trying to get 2.0.2 to work, why not just get 2.0.4?

Open Task Manager, and check if it's in the Applications or Processes tabs.

Your config should be in your own documents folder in a directory called "My BZFlag Files" or something like that. I dont use an English Windows (heck, I am not using Windows at all) so I cannot give you the exact path.
If you manage to find it, try deleting your config. Probably it is messed up.
