    FFXI UI mod trojan?

    I downloaded the UI mod exe from FFXIStyle & FFXICartography and ran it. When it got to downloading the files, my firewall told me a trojan was trying to be installed. I'd just like to give out a warning to people using this, be careful. I've trusted her before, but this is the first time I've gotten any virus warning from her downloads.

    Edit: FFXI windower forums says its a false positive. I would still like some feedback from others on this.

    It's highly likely that the action of installing those mods could be misinterpreted by your virus scanner as unwanted activity. I'd say you're ok.

    I can also verify they're legit. Downloaded them again for my new computer just yesterday.

    Well, I know it's useless to say this but I don't even know how to put a virus or trojan in my files... xD

    Plus, I have no interest in harming people's computers, I just want to help. ^^'

    Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it.

    As Aikar said in the past about Windower, if any of these people wanted to steal everyone's FFXI info, they would've done it loooong ago (and easily).
