Hi, thank you very much for your mods. My antivirus (windows defender) detects a Trojan when I unzip the mod. KR
Do not trust Windows Defender when it comes to Python. It's been a known issue for several years and has to do with their heuristics being overly sensitive for raw or bytecode Python, giving a lot of false-positives.

Windows Defender says you put a backdoor into this mod. That's a serious problem.
Plenty of people have downloaded the mod, and haven't gotten any warnings.

I have downloaded and enjoyed some of your mods, and I have downloaded a lot of raw python (not just for these games and mods, but also for work).

I have had no other false positives.

I am also not the first to report this in this thread, and most people are oblivious to backdoors in their systems...so discounting it as a known issue is a bit of a disappointment.

I have to sadly say I'll pass on this one.

Well I don't know what else to tell you then, I just downloaded my mod from the mega linked and scanned with both Norton, and Malware bytes, and got no hits. Both are up to date. I checked for updates before I scanned it.

The .rpy files are text files. Feel free to open them in your favorite text editor or pass them over to a fellow backdoor expert for examination.

I've also downloaded it to check and neither windows defender or bitdefender reports any problem
