I just had the same problem yesterday as well. I use avast and right after the definition update, it flagged texmod. I was a bit worried at first, but I guess everything is ok. I just disable active protection, load GW through the texmod, then reenable.

I've been using Texmod myself, and can't say I've regretted it in any way.

But I can't say I trust it either. I've had the Trojan warnings as well. For example, Comodo detects "[email protected]". Also, my firewall always reports one of the files needs a connection to the internet. Why is that? I thought Texmod only modifies graphics locally?

It's been pointed out that you need to download it from a safe source. Does anyone have a link to such a source? I just realised it would help a lot if there would be a webpage for texmod, and not just a link on a wiki anyone can edit...

...it's been clean for all 3 years since the last post in this thread. The wiki links are still clean, I downloaded it a few weeks ago after having uninstalled (due to finishing carto). Still, 3 years later, no problems.

I don't know about the file needing access to the internet, but I do know it's done that for a long time with no issues.

TexMod does not require internet or network access; it is not supposed to attempt it.

Check the hash on the Texmod. Mine doesn't trigger AV or Firewall messages although it glitched textures very often.

Sounds like you've got a dirty file. Texmod doesn't touch the internet. Check your checksum.

Let me help out a little.

Here is a copy of my file: http://www.filedropper.com/texmod

And here is its checksum:

3a561b80cfba394a810d528d4c05dc7e *Texmod.exe

I don't imagine that anyone can fiddle with my link here, but you should check the checksum nonetheless.

I
don't

people

horse
????

I got tired of posting links. It has been discussed more times than [insert humorous satirical pun here]. Texmod is perfectly legitimate and safe to download and use (providing you d/l it from a trusted source). You won't go around screaming in a little girl voice "0H n0! my c0mpU73R G07 [email protected] 0v3R 8Y a [email protected]".

EDIT>> BTW, On record for any GW PETA players out there.........I do not condone animal violence of any type!!
