What is it?
Why would anyone need it?

If it's a Mod Manager, this game doesn't need that. Mods are mostly simple drag & drop, done, load up the game and enjoy.

It's to make installers for programs not mods. And most mods need a mod installer not drag and drop on the games exe.

What is "Virus total?" It sounds like your computer is loaded with malware.

What is "Virus total?" It sounds like your computer is loaded with malware.
VirusTotal is a website created by the Spanish security company Hispasec Sistemas. Launched in June 2004, it was acquired by Google in September 2012.[1][2] The company's ownership switched in January 2018 to Chronicle, a subsidiary of Google.

VirusTotal's modus operandi is multiscanning. It aggregates many antivirus products and online scan engines[3][4] called Contributors.[5] In November, 2018, the Cyber National Mission Force, a unit subordinate to the U.S. Cyber Command became a Contributor.[6] The aggregated data from these Contributors allows a user to check for viruses that the user's own antivirus software may have missed, or to verify against any false positives.[7] Files up to 650 MB can be uploaded to the website, or sent via email (max. 32MB). Anti-virus software vendors can receive copies of files that were flagged by other scans but passed by their own engine, to help improve their software and, by extension, VirusTotal's own capability. Users can also scan suspect URLs and search through the VirusTotal dataset. VirusTotal uses the Cuckoo sandbox for dynamic analysis of malware.[8] VirusTotal was selected by PC World as one of the best 100 products of 2007.[9]

Nope no malware on my pc. Can't believe you never heard of virustotal website. I understand if this is your first week on the internet.

Probably because it is from Spain and I am not from Spain.
I'm from the usa and even i heard of virustotal. You use it to scan a website for viruses and or a file for viruses. It's open to the whole world. It uses like 60 some antivirus scanners to scan a website or file.

I've never tried an online virus scanner. The built in Windows Defender does a good enough job for me.

See that's the thing windows defender says it's clean but virus total does not. So i'm not sure if i want to fully trust what windows defender says.

If you trust Virus Total, and distrust Windows Defender then believe it and assume the file is malware.
Yea not clicking that link at all. Never heard of that site.

Virustotal says that site is infected.

I meant drag and drop into the game folder or a mods folders. Yes for MOST games its that simple

But this isn't for games or mods. Well i guess you can use it to pack your game files for your game to make an installer to install your game on peoples computers.

imo MSMG Toolkit is a more safe option to create custom windows installs.
I decided to go with inno setup it's also free and it came back 100% virus free. Now i got to learn python.

InstallForge has been out there for more than 15 years and is used by thousands of devs world-wide...it's quite good and has a high reputation.

What VirusTotal is showing there are false-positives due to some crappy machine-learning algos who tend to punish setup creators since they perform system-wide changes (e.g. creating registry entries etc.).
