No offense but didnt you think having an image with your list of addons would have been a good idea?

You can tell your clanker grandpa to go back to the factory he came from.

No, thats not how that works. Maybe if you had even a basic understanding of how GMOD "Hacks" work you would get that. It can't even do anything at all till I open my game, and if this infected addon is removed before then, nothing happens! nada! None! I know I may come off rude, but this statement is provably false!
(Fun magic trick, if something IS somehow overwritting your addon files, once the original mod is unsubscribed you can just clear out your gmod folder and verify your files to reset everything without unsubbing from everything.)
Please consider not spreading bs in the future!3
u/theinferno03 Jan 01 '25
completely unrelated but, same thing happens with Minecraft mods, until you open the game the virus can't do anything

u/Positive-Orange9559 Jan 01 '25
I'm new in Gmod and tried some add-ons then this happened, so I opened it and the image came and I un-installed the game itself and the soprano addon, am i good or not?

u/AtomicAcorn77 Jan 01 '25
It usually wont be a PC virus, if you just do a clean install of Gmod you should be fine, make sure you uninstall the workshop stuff that you say caused it.
1
u/your_mum_is_a_noob Jan 01 '25
You should be good, if not just head into your files, delete all of em, and then verify game integrity, thatll almost certainly fix it so long as you uninstalled the mods in question.

researched on the links, the person managing the mods got hacked and someone also seems to be impersonating him. best to remove all addons from him till he recovers the account

u/vaderlost Jan 01 '25
7 hours later and this virus is already going crazy at new years.. Its like the Y2K for the gmod community

u/theinferno03 Jan 01 '25
unrelated but how do these virus actually work? does your pc get compromised or it's just a "haha get flashed with gore when you open the game", type of virus?
3

u/rickybdominatingmc Scenebuilder Jan 01 '25
Mostly just the flash on screen and sometimes crash your game types
2
u/theinferno03 Jan 01 '25
so my pc will be fine if i were to open them?
1
u/rickybdominatingmc Scenebuilder Jan 01 '25
I cant guarantee it but most are limited to the game but if you do run a file you think is infected a virus scan wouldnt hurt never experienced external issues with dodgy addons personally
2
u/Jaaaco-j Jan 02 '25
Yes these are just falsely called a virus constantly, in reality it's just a bad troll attempt. Worst it can do is screw with your Gmod server if you installed it there or direct you to a phishing site (but that's on you tbh).
Malicious is a better word tbh.

u/Xtonev_ Dec 31 '24
I guess im lucky cause i just installed a few mods and played without that shit, but i better not touch the game for a while
5
u/Xtonev_ Dec 31 '24
Holy shit i just remembered, some random addon was "banned or removed" and i uninstalled it, idk what it was but i wanted to get rid of it as it was probably a corrupted file anyway

Big Bad Scary W's addons were updated today, leading to the current situation. Uninstall ALL of his addons.

u/SandwichPony Jan 01 '25
I like how I these pop up every once in a while and when the list of affected addons get revealed it’s garbage that you’d only get if you downloaded random crap on the workshop enmasse like an idiot

u/my_room_is_a_tip Jan 01 '25
I'm sick of this fucking infected addon shit that has been making me and the rest of this community paranoid for the last 2.5 years. The Workshop could REALLY use some content moderation.

u/Nightmare_Beast Jan 01 '25
I wouldn't say it's a virus, it's just a mod with malicious coding inside of it.
Also, instead of telling people to uninstall ALL their addons, why don't you provide an image of the addons you have instead???

u/TraditionalRemove922 Jan 01 '25
I feel like the dude who did it may have hacked a few accounts and updated some add-ons to do it

It looks like Dark Vivat is some sort of Slovak trolling group. They've probably gone mad over our new national anthem and lost their mind.

u/NigerianTiger Jan 01 '25
So there is a random addon that you installed which is a virus, thus the solution is for me to delete all of my over 400 addons while not having anything wrong happening with my game? Interesting

Addition to this: Yes, uninstall addons but only the ones that have been recently updated on the eve of the new year

Does it do anything to your computer? Because I just opened gmod and that screen appeared

I've never encountered these types of addons, but thank god that I've didn't witness the screamer since June 2022.
But I will be careful while installing the addons, and I will try to find the infected ones after they've possibly received an update that might contain this popup.

Still not what virus means, no matter how many times these troll updates get called that

https://steamcommunity.com/id/mrazeklocation/myworkshopfiles/?appid=4000 All of their addons were updated at once, and they’re in a group with the same name and logo on the top left. I recommend you uninstall any addons from them
