Warning: Fake Versions of Programs Found on Nexus
Added 2024-04-07 17:04:04 +0000 UTCDo NOT download S4 CAS Tools or Loading Screen Randomizer from Nexus Mods. The downloads are a text file which includes links to the downloads and comes with a Trojan Virus. Both were uploaded by the same user, fubruss. More info below ↓
Credit to Kuttoe for his well written (as always) post.
Hopefully everyone learned from the last Malware incident to be more cautious when downloading mods/programs. A text file as a download with a link to the download is a definite RED FLAG.
Thankfully, both had VERY few downloads and a few of them were our friends on SaD investigating it.
However, if you were one of the few unlucky ones, it’s important to delete them immediately and run a virus scan!
→ Also thanks to Cuupidon for originally sharing this information on Tumblr!
As always, stay safe and use caution when downloading ANYTHING. As always I’ll keep you informed if anything else is found.

Thank you so much for this information. A cc creator used nexus mod for eyeshadow as a download, but not curseforge or their patreon or TSR. Just being cautious.
