When i download a mod from http://www.weidu.org, my virus-scanner tells me that the file is infected. I can't open it because an error occurs, and i cant delete it.
Does anyone know what is wrong ?

Have you tried rebooting? And did you contact the site managers of WeiDU about this?

rebooting doesn't help..

I've not contacted them because i thought it was my computer that was acting up. It just doesn't make any sense :(

Virus checkers are prone to be nearly as paranoid as governmental "protection" agencies. They'll jump at the strangest things. Try running your virus checker on that specific archive you downloaded, and see if it finds any viruses within it.
