Hello, I'm new to rainmeter and I just ran the Enigma4Patch1.rmskin through virustotal and it's being reported as various trojans. Here is the analysis page: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/835b91e7f5b38764993643498aa3a091b754cade91212f94437623c5bd3aac71/analysis/
The Enigma Suite is one of the top recommended themes so I'm just wondering what's the deal here?
How do we know that skins/themes aren't trojans?

Viruses?

Re: Viruses?
That is certainly a false positive, as the Enigma suite is both written by one of our developers, and hosted for download by us.
There are a lot of anti virus apps out there, in my opinion about 90% of them are complete crap.

In general, anything you download from the Rainmeter site is certain to be fine. I also have a fair amount of confidence in .rmskin files you download from deviantART, as the .rmskin format has some protections built into it to prevent tampering, and the community on deviantART will raise hell in the comments if there is really an issue with a submission there.
