Author Topic: Maleware in Addons folder - Locked, not caused from a downloaded addon  (Read 4160 times)

I think it's just a virus that go on a random folder : here it's blockland/add-ons folder.

I scanned that "Brick_2x_Cube" with:

-Avast

-Malware bytes Anti-Malware

Nothing.

EDIT: Also the link for the Brick_2X_Cube that Badspot wanted:

Attention, it's a direct link

Yeah, there is nothing in there that could be a virus.  It is literally just some text files and a png image. 


I don't know much about viruses but maybe you had something infected and brought it over to that folder. Or you just hate melonking or FF.

This thread reminds me of:
Omg gij spreekt nederlands!
English: Omg you speak dutch!
on-topic: How can only two people in blockland have it?

I got a scare for a little bit there. I recently sent Mack a few addons within the past few days and thought I sent him a virus.

In other words, you downloaded the virus from something else and it infected an innocent file like an Add-On.

This.

I've already deleted the file in my addons folder. Something tells me that a seperate executable, possibly something I recently downloaded, shoved itself into that file.

I redownloaded the 2x cube, scanned it, and got nothing. It definitely must have been another file.

EDIT: stuff, IT'S BACK. The same file, except this time it's in one of my goddamn Garry's Mod addons (Advanced Duplicator).

What is it with this file and infecting game addons?!

Well, anyway, I'm going to do a full scan of my computer to figure out where the hell this mailware is coming from. It obviously isn't someone's addon, it must have been something I downloaded - I've scanned the 2x cube about 50 times now. Same with the SVN of Advanced Duplicator, I get nothing.

So I'm sorry for the false alarm, it's my fault (At least I think it is, siblings :C) Locking.
