Hey all. I've been using Textmod for the last couple months now and it has been working just fine. Then today when I went to start it up, my anti-virus kept blocking the program and telling me that a trojan horse had successfully been blocked. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I don't wanna let my anti-virus allow it if it is gonna harm my computer in some way. Any help or advice is appreciated.

TexMod is perfectly safe, but I would make sure you have the download from the official Tomb Raider site,
http://www.tombraiderhub.com/tr7/modding/t...load/texmod.zip
As long as you're using that, or you're sure the file you have is from a safe source, I'd say you're fine.

Well, I got textmod from the link in the guide that Blazings made awhile back. He said it was safe and I've been running it without anything popping up. It just seems kind of odd that all of a sudden, my anti-virus thinks it's a trojan horse and won't allow it to run :P.
Edit: Magical Samurai, I just tried that link you provided and my anti-virus says that it is a trojan horse as well :P.

Have you tried deleting it and downloading it from the official site? If not then that is what I would try next. Or maybe the packages (maps) got infected...try deleting those and re-download them.
Good luck, I wish I could help more but I also downloaded everything from the guide and it seems to be fine. I am using AVG and I have scanned the files and everything seems to be ok.

Yeah, if it's having issues with any files, I think your AV is just not liking the program, it's safe though - I think you should just add it to your AV's ignore list.

Its not that its not liking it, its the fact the program itself attaches to programs and intercepts calls to the graphics card....which is how it changes textures. That is why its detected as a trojan, because it has trojan-like behavior (attaching to other programs), but despite this its 100% safe.
AVG and others have already corrected the issue of it picking up Texmod as a false-positive.
