Okay,

(1.) I'm smart enough to know not to run the game while messing with mod files. I'm not a mood at this stuff, that's why this is so frustrating.

(2.) I'll check my virus scanner...

(3.) I'll scan for viruses before I do number 2.

(4.) I've already done the extreme of uninstalling the entire game and reinstalling everything back. That didn't help.

Thanks, keep them coming, I'll update later.
