Hello,
So I decided to mod a game. A popular mod that i wanted was The Rise of the White Wolf: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/669/?. The mod is legit and the comments were all positive. But on downloading it, avast! told me it was infected with win32:malware-gen and locked it in the chest.
After searching on Google, nobody has had this problem with the mod and some people have had infected files turn up to be false positive and completely safe.
What should i do? Should i put it in the exclusion list of scan and install the mod or forget about it?
When searching via that IP we get one alert for this URL hosts a threat identified as: CYSC.BLACKLISTED.GEN.
This URL is or was distributing a malware variant of EXP/GifDropper.D
This URL domain/host was seen to host badware at some point in time
Malware site.
Malicious site.
I have been discussing this threat earlier in July this year here: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=151587.0
seems to be a malicious script of some sort, and yes it is harmless as a compressed file.
I assume it is but I asked essexboy, our qualified removal expert to look into it and give us his opinion.
Wait for him to react, but my results seems all clean: https://app.webinspector.com/public/reports/27249226
Only thing that worries me are some spam alerts:

Hi,
As the file can only be downloaded by users with paid membership, I am unable to analyze the file that you reported. Can you upload it on virustotal.com and post the link to the analysis here?
Thanks!
