Hi, every time I try to download the mod from moddb my anti virus system (Sophos) detects a virus in the mod and prevents the mod from downloading.

False positive I'm assuming. I can assure you there is nothing in the official moddb download that would be harmful to your system.

Apart from stealing your soul taking up hardrive space, SotP does no harm!

 

Damn, that was close. Nearly told them [REDACTED].

There are no viruses in SotP. It doesn't even have an executable file in it at all. It's all text files and textures.

I would love to see which file the anti virus says its a virus probbaly that plot device model.

 

on a more serious note you pack the Large Adress enablre with sotp right? maybe it thinks the tool is the virus.

Indeed.

If you're getting an executable, you may have clicked a fake download link, or your download may be getting hijacked by adware on your computer.

You should only click this button

Then, only click one of these two links: (or just wait a few seconds)
CAPTURE.png

Once you download, it should only download a .zip file, which looks like this (in chrome):
CAPTURE3.png

If it downloads something else, or if you click a different link, it's almost certainly a virus.

On the other hand, if you do download this, and it comes up as a virus, it's probably a false positive. Obviously, though, use caution if the anti-virus warns you.

Also, guys, can you chill with the cancer in a help thread? Please? Just a bit? At least till he figures out what's wrong, and we don't get his system hit with a virus because maladvertising or something.
