Hello, I searched for some mods on steam workshop but i was a little paranoid if I could get a virus (for example malware/spyware etc) and i read the terms and conditions and there is written that its not guaranteed to not have a virus + no other mention. Could I get a virus from steam workshop mods? (I play games like Stormworks/Cities: Skylines/HoI 4 etc)
if yes what are the chances?

Thank you for answers

Steam already checks everything with Antiviruses.
About 30 of them. :P
Then their hosting system checks for viruses with even more anti-viruses.

You'll never get a malicious file from the workshop.

well I heard about some incident that someone was able to upload mod with malware in it

Valve took it down pretty quickly and now does perform other checks because of this.
