I will also add, you can scan a download link itself on sites like 'virustotal' or others, before downloading stuff yourself, by simply copy pasting the link (your download should start in a few seconds, if it doesnt please use this link 'to start the download' <- last part being the link) and take that link to the virus scanning site. Go ask anyone who has used the site, if they have gotten any viruses from nexumods, you will likely find zero who have. You can also view the contents of said mod on the page before downloading them and anyone with modding experience or using mods, will know what file types should be in said mods. Wrong, having 'virustotal' api for use on user uploads to the site, makes the site more reputable than sites that dont use scanners, as well any uplouds to the site that are found 'unsafe' are quarantines and dont make it to the site for downloading, not including that the administration/moderation is always on top of things.

Or, for that matter, that workshop content is malware-free. for some game mods.Sites 'having a virus scanner' is probably the worst criterium for them being 'reputable' - because you have no way of verifying that any scan at all took place or that the file in question safe. Opprinnelig skrevet av MonkehMaster:as for downloading 'anywhere on the internet' as someone else mentioned, i wouldnt download from random sites, use well known, reputable sites, that have virus scanners and such, so you arent compromising your computer/ect.
