(EDIT: most likely a false positive) PUA:Win32/Packunwan and PUA:Win32/Vigua.A viruses from Thunderstore?

Microsoft Defender just warned me that I got these viruses after trying to launch the game after downloading over 30 Webfishing mods with r2modman from the Thunderstore.

I've uninstalled r2modman and the game right after (and have reinstalled the game). Should I be worried, and has anyone else experienced this?

You downloaded mods off the internet and automatically assumed they were safe to use in a game that has a hacker problem.

Thunderstore is pretty well known (and r2modman is a popular alternative frontend because Overwolf is particularly frustrating), but I see your point. In this case, it's probably another false positive, seeing as GDWeave had an issue with winmm.dll being picked up (a necessary part of the program) because it was also used for hacking tools. There's nothing wrong with the DLL itself, it's about how people modify it.

OP, could you provide more detail as to which file Defender is quarantining?

The Packunwan was:
file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\WEBFISHING\winmm.dll
file: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\r2modmanPlus-local\WEBFISHING\cache\NotNet-GDWeave\2.0.14\winmm.dll

Idk what Vigua.a was since Microsoft Defender doesn't have it anymore

I use a manual modloader now, and according to the creator's modloader on GitHub, they were false positives (at least I hope they are lol), so I'm not concerned about these virus detections anymore (so I think I can use r2modman too, but for now I can't be bothered to install it again).

wrong place to ask, if you use no mods and cheats you can ask for help here easily

if you mod and cheat and then get a virus warning we aren't the forums for mod loaders or other 3rd party things so you should probably check there

Don't listen to this clown. There is no dedicated place to discuss mods.
