Got a trojan virus from your RW Mod last night

I would repost a new link. I downloaded the link last night for the RW mod and my virus scanner notified me that this file had a trojan virus in it. Thankfully my virus scanner took care of the file. I just wanted to let you know.

It's not uncommon for various virus scanners to report issues with unknown files such as used for mod files. Often they will be reported as "generic" because the scanner is not sure about them since they aren't well known or something about it makes it cautious. With that said, never can rule out any possibilities although the file has been out there since October with no other reports. At the time of uploading the file, my multiple virus scanners on my computer did not report any issues but again who knows if something happened on the hosting site at some point.

I did upload a new version just in case, I leave it to each individual to determine if they want to use.
