QWEEDDYZ: Guy above say completely nonsense not related information. That happenes when someone try to promote un-official projects for the games - they litteraly do this in every topics of game sub-forum not matter how it related to thread subject. Happened in every threads for games, if this games have such mods. Sometimes warez adverts happens, eg Warcraft 2 'combat edition'-repack. When someone ask for additional localisation - it is good to promote combat-repack, but sometimes this promoting happened in not related thread.
Not matter which one game and whico one mod... even really good ones worth to try advertised in such nonsensly bad manner. And i cant name this mod above is a worth to try.

Back to topic sibject
I dont know why many people (at least on steam forums) suggest MWB as a good checking tool. MWB like to find something in random files. Random mean random. Not just for warez content.
VirusTotal also do mistakes. Well, obviously they signatures database is always out of date from used AV\anti-spywares. But they have something above that.
Use free editions of Kaspersky, Dr,Web or better of all - standart MSE\Defender. Do manually check updates\signates updates for Defender and manually fast-check and then separate files check if you suspect some files.
Then go to virustotal and look suspected files there.
As alternative to MWB use Dr.Web CureIT. There is also same tools from Microsoft - but two differ not clear if they have differ malware threads signatures. Not needed - if AV im suggested not 100% recommendation - CureIT is best tool for checking PC\separate files. This and Microsoft AV'ses. There is also Spyware Process Detector - but kinda old (not a big problem) tool and trial-ware ($$$) - this not only check signatures, it show you no-signed Microsoft dll as suspiciuos explained to you that it suspicous cause do not have Ms signature. Cause this tool is anti-spyware, not AV, it do nothing to heal\remvoe such files - only warn you. I dont know if there is a good FREE alternative for that tool.
Lack of signature shouldnt affect AV. Normally presense of digital signature on exe should be good for affect AV triggering as good files, but in case what user above say -... Mmm... First of this signatures made for users, not for AV. Presense of it in mod-project say to you you downloaded if from offciail mirror who do not modify it before mirrored this mod. GOG installers sign only say to you that you have correctly downloaded exe file, or not modified if this is about ***** things downloadings.
Some AV will do check difgital signatures - for Microsoft, Apple and Valve exe's and dll's (like steamclient.dll). Maybe some AV also have white-list of some esle signatures. But this is not related to this thread issue. Im sure there is no white-list for Empire Earth exe files signs.

Look youreself for mods. if you want install some - do this for better reasons than just for avoiding antivirusses triggering. For content reasons.
Also, of you look at pinned threads you wiil find there linked mods can triggered AV for some questionable used... mmm... things.
