ok well thanks for the help, i didnt know that there were "official" mods that were safe to DL, i just did a google search and clicked on one of the sites.
i had LFS extracted onto the 2nd drive on my computer, because the 1st one is already out of space.
the location was
D:gregsstuff/LFS
my music and everything else was also in "gregsstuff" when it got deleted, but it didnt delete anything outside of the gregsstuff folder.
i was just coming on here to see if this had happened before. i already downloaded many anti-malware programs but none of them found anything.
I went on illegal link removed and downloaded this file illegal link removed. it was suppose to be a subaru skin for the RB4.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT, IT IS A VIRUS.
After properly installing the car skins into the correct LFS folders, i started up the game and the skin worked great.
but then all of a sudden my screen started showing large pixles all over the screen randomly.
i could tell something was malfunctioning, and assumed it was the new skin i just downloaded.
so i went into the LFS folder and deleted the new skin and put back the defaults.
try to play LFS and still doesnt work, game gets very laggy with random large pixles and eventually freezes.
so now i figure it messed up the games files some how.
so i go to uninstall LFS, when i do, the uninstall.exe starts up and deletes all of LFS, but then without stopping, it starts uncontrollably deleting ALL my music, games, and everything else that was in the same folder as the uninstall.exe.
I couldnt not click "cancel", i tried...
i also tried going into taskmanager to stop the process but it wasnt visible.
after this uninstalled all of my files (not in recycling, just disappeared) my computer wouldnt not start back up. it would just stay a blue screen with random large pixles and lines.
i already deleted all of the LFS files but somehow the virus got outside of the LFS folder because in a folder for a different game i found empty folders titled "car_subaru_v6", "car_skyline_v6", "car_vet_v6", but i know i didnt extract them to that folder, and i didnt even download any skyline or vet skins in the first place.
has anyone else got this virus?
