Looks like you fell for the old switcheroo some download sites love to be infected by. Always double check what you're downloading. The mod is a RAR, not an EXE.

Yeah I knew something was fishy when the file had both .rar and .exe at the end of the file name and the fact that it came from a download site I'd never heard of added to the suspicion. So I immediately ran antivirus. As for downloading it..the big green "Download" button is the one to avoid.

And I have both NoScript/Adblock in addition to Ghostery.
