Found virus in a file Downloaded from here! who, and where do i re

[DeltaAgent26]

My Computer started acting "wierd" a couple of days ago. I thought maybe it was hardware issues.

 

However, today when I ran Malwarebytes anti-malware, it found "PUP.Hacktool.Patcher"

in one of the files I downloaded from skyrim nexus.

 

The file is:

Skyrim Universal 4GB Memory Patch-3211-1-0\Skyrim_Memory_4gb_Patch\Skyrim.Memory.(4gb).Patch.exe

 

the uploader is argie84

 

Below, i have attached a text file of the log crated by the Malwarebytes anti-malware.

Sometime they are false positives,because of the way it works,or is packed.Just contact the site owner,and they can try to verify if it's a real threat or not.Noone needs those patches anyway,if they update the game.

still going to do a full cleaning of my system, just to be safe. :devil:

Also that file is no longer needed since like dec 2011 anyway since beth added it to the official patch.

Actually, it's not a virus. It modifies the SkyrimLauncher.exe and/or TESV.exe in the way malware would inject code into other files, but this mod doesn't inject bad code. Nufink to worry about.

 

The mod, I've found, can also download mods from the steamworkshop successfully when otherwise the SkyrimLauncher.exe wouldn't for some reason.
