I found it funny that the admin asked the poster to let it be known which .exe files were infected with virii and trojans, yet members can't reply to threads in this section. LOL...anyways, I decided to take it upon myself to figure out which ones need to be cleaned out.
*drum roll*
I just went through more than half (40+) of the files, and so far ALL of the .EXE files have been corrupted with a virus or trojan horse. The .XMOD files were perfectly fine though. So perhaps the developers could make it a goal to convert all of them to the .XMOD way, and as an added security measure, make it so that you can only download them if you register with the website/forums. That way if it happens again, you may be able to track down who did it. What you would even be able to do with the people, I have no clue, but it would remove a level of their anonymity.
Food for thought, cheers!

What a load of bollocks, I made all the exe files and whatever virus checker your using is giving you a false positive.
THERE ARE NO VIRUSES IN THE EXE FILES
