Re: Forge: does it have viruses?

[vt2601]

I was going to install Item Physics mod. Then i saw that forge is needed. I tried to find a non-exe version of 1.7.10 forge but i couldn't find one. I know that it is easy to hide viruses in exe files and i couldn't dare to use the installer. Can someone say can i trust the exe files? http://minecraftforge.net/forum/Smileys/default/huh.gif

hea guys can i trust this community standard open source software ...

Thousands of people have been using forge for years. Hundreds of mods have been developed using forge... Why would everyone be using it if it was malware?

You're not sure if you can trust an official file used by thousands of people, but you do trust random people form the Internet?

 

My advice: get a virus scanner. If you have no clue which one, try this one.
