A few days ago, some accounts were hacked and they were uploading links infected with viruses (ransomware) Unfortunately, this is NOT the first time this has happened.

That sounds like something Aq***aro mods was accused of when linking to a 3rd party file-server. I cannot stress enough the importance of web surfing with protection. My preference is Brave browser (on Linux) with shields enabled. Virus scan all downloads before dropping into your mod directory & use "Tmex - Modguard".
No, I almost downloaded those files if it wasn't for the user who warned us. I still did a full virus scan and when I went back to the forum, the post had been deleted by the moderators.
I had never heard about those viruses. Do you know if they are really dangerous?
Ransomware are very dangerous viruses that are capable of encrypting all your files and demanding a ransom in exchange for them. They can spread through the network and infect all your devices. Some types of ransomware are undetectable and self-destruct, They can even attack your BIOS, making your computer unusable.

Its still weird to me people download leaked mods(Or just go on any pirate site) with zero protection. I wouldn't go as far as what you do unless I'm doing some REALLY shady shit (which I don't) but yeah....get a antivirus people; a good one.

Precisely. I remember the early days of the internet when surfing for porn could leave a bunch of nasties on your PC. Today is no different. More and more nefarious websites are cropping up all of the time. Now more than ever, users must protect themselves or suffer the consequences.
This is why I run my Sims 4 installation (and other Windows games) in a

and all running processes cannot access the internet nor have access to system files. Even if my installation were to get hit with ransomware, it would only affect the container it runs in; WHICH can be easily purged and replaced with a backup in minutes. Try the links in this post if you are feeling ambitious.I forgot to mention: In addition to virus scanners, it might be a good idea to use a browser with privacy and anti malware features built-in, moreover using a VPN with advanced kill-switch features will also hide your web activity from your ISP and make it harder for criminals to attack your home network. Enable the firewall in your home router! It is better to have multiple protections in place, especially if you are using an OS as vulnerable as Windows. I ditched Microsoft almost 2 decades ago as I found Linux to be superior in terms of functionality and security.
