This article will offer guidance on how to utilize a detector tool that will assist in identifying any potential malware infection on your computer.

Identifying Possible Infection

There exist two scenarios:

  1. You might have downloaded a contaminated mod but have not yet activated it (i.e., you haven’t started the mod in Minecraft). A continuously updated list of such suspect projects can be found below. In this situation, you’re still safe; all you need to do is eradicate the mod using the CurseForge client.
  2. If you have already initiated an infected mod, or for the sake of caution, download and run the detection tool available here. You can also find the GitHub project here.

What Should I Do if I’m Infected?

In case the detection tool confirms an infection, please adhere to the subsequent steps:

  • The tool will supply a catalog of the detected files on your computer. Refer to the image here.
  • If you’re certain that these files were not intentionally saved by you, navigate to each file location and erase these files.
  • You can run the tool again post deletion to ensure complete removal.
