Unwanted files in the download files

[advan]

Hi, thanks for uploading 1.45 version, I really wanted to try your map. Don't get me wrong, but once I downloaded ETS2 mod with virus so now I am extremely careful and I am scanning every mod with my antivirus and virustotal. I did it with Red Sea Map and everything feels okay (0 detects), but virustotal relations page, after scanning, shows all files and I saw " htBYcmU8.exe" in Redsea1-4-2.scs and "Adanak.PurBrowse64.exe" in Redsea_assets.scs. You have your own site and good quality mods, I never heard complaining about your work, but can you explain me these files? As i said before, don't get me wrong, I am just super-mega-extra careful

This is strange?
To be sure I downloaded the files also again.
But I can't find the the files. Are you sure you downloaded the right files and the the files from the a pop-up?

You should have these files

Yes, I downloaded exactly this files. Look at scan results and scroll down, you can see the files I am talking about

Sorry but I don't see the files you are talking about in the screenshots?

 

[advan]

Click the 3 dots until you get to the bottom and you will see one exe file that I am talking about

Okay I found the flies..

But it is still strange. Because I can't find these files in the assests file and the Def/Map file when I download them.
And if you check the date of the file it is after the date when we uploaded the assests file and the Def/Map (2022-08-04)

Can you tell me in witch folder you found them?

 

[advan]

The date 2023-04-14 is the last time file get scanned.
I didn't found these files in Red Sea Map in .scs because I didn't opened it - I am scanning and checking every mod in Virustotal before I do something with it so this is why I analyzed your one. Can you recognise other files from my link that supposed to be inside .scs Red Sea Map?
I don't know what to do and what's going on

Hello @advan
After checking the files in more than one antivirus application, including VirusTotal online, nothing came back positive.
Have you checked your computer intensively for any of these viruses?
For now, what we can tell you is that our files are clean of any virus.

I also checked both .scs files with my antivirus + Virustotal and it looks safe (0 detections), so don't worry, I am not telling you that you are putting malware in your mods. I am just curious what is going on with the fact that Virustotal relations tab is showing something probably different than normal content of your .scs archives. I tried uploading mods made by other users to Virustotal and everything in relations tab looks like it should. That's very strange in my opinion

Hello again, sorry for making one post under another, but I decided to analyze files in your .scs archives in virtual machine (sorry for being super-safe, haha!) and now I am as confused as you should be. Maybe something is hidden, idk, but data inside Red Sea Map looks like in any other map mod, similar extension, names, etc. No exes, no strange named files, no "unknown" files, no things like " VirusShare_ba13323d64d5c9797847be916ca4b611" or 'WE[,=JhbDjq.{1r". Sorry for singular thoughts that your mod can have a malware. I can only suggest you to contact Virustotal site to explain it or do something similar, because it can scare away community members as paranoid as me
