DrakeTheDragon Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 In response to post #15572200. As the actual mod files got replaced by a malicious installer EXE which installed the Trojan instead of the mod, they were spotted by their majorly different file size, far too small to contain the mods to begin with, after all, if you either didn't get any installers to begin with but only legit mod packages, or what came out of the installers you used was the actual mod's files, and because the files previously were fine for a long time, or nobody reported anything suspicious about them at least, I'm led to believe you're rather safe now. It can't hurt checking for the Trojan with the anti virus and cleaning tools mentioned though anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonlunar Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 ugh people these days cant the just learn 2 respect the internet and others. For once hacking is stupid and second its just wrong. For those who thinks its fun doing that its all fun and game until some1 dies (tbh there is a report of a hacker that made someone commit suicide. Not 2 be sad and all.) then what will they do just continue. People like that makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastermachiavel Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Very thankful to have such a clear and honest explanation of everything that's going on. Nexus for me is one of the more reliable and high quality mod sites out there, and it's good to see that what could have quite easily been covered up is dealt with in a professional and competent manner. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
