Trojan Virus found in IL2 blank skin pack

[CJAY]

In the Blank Skin pack for the IL2 aircraft, my computer detected a wacatac trojan virus and removed the file. 

What's going on with this?

 

Thanks!

Good question.  The file is zipped and uploaded by me to my GoDaddy site.  The file contains nothing but dds files, which I do not believe can be infected.  The files themselves (7z) have not been modified since last year.

 

Can you tell me which file?

Anybody else see anything like this?

The file in question is "PWCG GB Blank Skins IL2" for the IL2 aircraft I believe. I attempted downloading it twice but it was removed from my computer by windows defender. I didn't allow it just in case the file got compromised or such.

You are correct, windows did detect a virus.  Whatever windows detected was in the file before I uploaded it, as it complained when I tried to open the file that I originally created.  No idea what happened.  I checked the contents of the IL2 skin directories that I zipped and they contain nothing but dds files.  All of the other 7z files are fine.

 

I rebuilt the file and uploaded it.  I checked the file several different ways, including downloading it, and it seems to be fine now.  Once again, apologies.
