if you're gonna download some softwares and are worried they might have malware, you could potentially try learning to use virtual machines.

CKAN itself should be clean. There's no guarantee the repos it's downloading mods from haven't been infected though...

Did the alert come up when you tried to download a mod, or just when you ran it?

If it was when you tried to download a mod, do you know which mod/version it was?

It is most likely just a false positive, but ransomware can be a real pain in the ass if you don't have backups.
