    i'm genuinely going insane because I was watching this literally no more than a few hours ago thinking "haha people aren't that dumb to download stuff like that right??" and then i literally just went onto my brothers pc and found SO MANY minecraft viruses and trojans it was genuinely jaw dropping.. it's almost like i told him to not download off of media fire and youtube!! i have no clue how to go about removing those so i'm making him take it in somewhere to be fixed -_-

    The reason why it redirected you to Google may be because it's stealing information. In some cases, shady websites will run a script that gets cookies from where it's redirecting you to. Cookies can be used to get log in information.

    5:52 the number 1 red flag when downloafinf Minecraft mods is:
    If it's not .jar, it's a virus* approximately 99.99948536% of the time
    *Not exactly, mods for older versions of Minecraft like 1.2 or something (was released in like 2012 or smth), they will probably be a .zip

    The Tone app is actually a NW.js app. The nw.dll and the icon is a dead giveaway. NW.js itself isn't evil, just a way to create a app from JS and HTML. Could be that d3dcompiler comes from them since it can be used to render the UI

    An even easier eay to tell if a Minecraft mod is malware: you didn't download it from Modrinth's or CurseForge's official pages. (Yeah, there are paid mods & mods directly from the creator's websites, but I'm not counting those, they tend to be rather rare)

      @@chibisayori20 MCreator cause a lot of problems due to how it's created and work. That can cause:
      Memoryleak, instabilities, performance problems, various corruptions, can make your game stop working at any time, can make the game run worse and worse and pile up various conflicts over time, have compatibility issues with normally coded mods and Minecraft itself.
      Of course, these problems are not limited to mods created with MCreator, and not all MCreator mods have problems or lot of problems. But it's not uncommon within the MCreator community to find mods with the above problems. They are known to avoid, to the point that scanners are used in support/helper environments to people complaining that a specific modpack don't work or stopped working.
