Hidden (av detected) files in the NMC Interiors Patch?

Post by **KUPOkinz** » Sat Mar 17, 2018 2:57 pm

Hello! Upon downloading the NMC interiors patch, both Kasperky and Panda has detected 2 hidden unknown files marking both as them as Malicious (which I already quarantined and deleted, sorry didn't get a picture lol, instant NO xD). They do not specifically say what they are other than 'Unknown'

Sure enough, there are two hidden .ds files inside of the Data/Texture folder. Googling looks like either windows store modifiers or mac os store modifiers but I am unsure :(

Attached are pictures of the hidden files. I am not by any means saying these are bad files just that I've used pretty much every patch available on this awesome website and this is the only one that's ever been flagged. Just curious if it's random safe files that windows doesn't know? Would hope so because TTW Interiors is great :D

Those are mac directory metadata files, chuck is on a mac. Safe to delete, non-malicious.

Okay, thank you very much Roy :D I'll remove this topic if I can figure out how.

Leave it in case someone else runs across it and also doesn't know about Mac file structure on non-HFS filesystems.

It's on my own personal mod folder :P The files will still be there on the TTW website :P

He meant the topic. I'm leaving it.
