MALWARE WARNING: More Effective Transfer Manager (continued)
The latest update of METM(continued) v2.2.0.220410 includes code that bypasses the Steam Workshop and downloads a mod to your local folder called harmony2. If you open the harmony2 folder you will find harmony2.dll.

Windows explorer shows that the author of harmony2.dll is Chaos aka HolyWater/Drok - who was banned for bypassing the steam workshop to install malicious code on users computers.

I would post this comment on the METM(cont) page, but disappointingly, @cambrium who took over development of this mod for pcfantasy refuses to listen to user feedback and has turned comments off on their mod.

As of now, I have uninstalled METM(continued) and reported it for bypassing the Steam Workshop and I hope you will do the same.

Use this mod at your own risk!! :steamfacepalm:

So it downloads this: https://gtm.you1.cn/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2040656402

?

You realise it literally states that Harmony is a required dependence, literally almost every mod that adds advanced features requires it. You should do some research before spouting rubbish, Harmony is a patching library and used by at least 2 dozen games to patch mods gracefully into a game. Not to mention it literally states, literally, on the Harmony page that some mods Will force a download because it will not work without it!

Harmony is not malware, it does not bypass steam workshop, scanned it with malwarebytes and antivirus no virus found. It is dependent on the mod, the mod is safe. .dll is dynamic linked library not malware.

Of course I see the requirement for Harmony2.2-0. Thanks for your unhelpful comment @FlareFluffsune. Read my post again if you don't understand.

After METM (continued) loads the method OnLevelLoaded() it looks for additional harmony dependencies that are only found in the Chaos version of Harmony. After it fails to find them it downloads the Chaos version and stores it in your local directory.

You can see proof of this in the directory-- AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Mods\harmony2.

Download the mod and check it out if you don't believe me.

Harmony 2.2-0 by 'Boformer' is safe to use and a dependancy for a lot of mods.

Harmony (redesigned; 2.2 update available, see inside) by 'Chaos' and 'I found Colossal Order Keylogger' (previously known as Holywater, but all these Steam accounts are from the same sad worthless individual) contains malware. Avoid that one!!

As for 'More Effective Transfer Manager (continued) by 'cambrium'; Its creator has indeed turned of comments on the mods Workshop page. There were many startup issues, and I still don't fully trust this mod. Especially considering that the previous one by 'pcfantasy' still works fine, so there was no need to make a new version...

@MaxFX - agreed about the safety of the real Harmony 2.2-0 by Boformer, but your comment still misses the point.

This additional harmony2 folder did not appear until this latest update to METM (continued). The dll file included in the folder lists Chaos as the author.

Download it and see for yourself.

Do you even use anti-malware?

@FlareFluffsune :steambored: get lost

Is the reality of if the mod was malware your anti-malware would have popped up by now sinking in?

@MaxFX - Thanks for your understanding. Just trying to help others stay safe. I hope I'm wrong but its pretty fishy.

If you were familiar with the whole Chaos thing, you'd know that anti-malware apps will not catch it. It is specific to Cities: Skylines only.

Why risk it if you can easily avoid it? As I mentioned, the original version of that mod works fine, so there was no need for a new one (just like Network Extensions 3 btw). The comments section is turned off, and RokoeSqualo found out how it works and is warning you about it!!

Why neglect all these warnings and signs?

Wouldn't steam block uploading malware in the first place?

And wondering why Holy Water/Chaos accounts have not been deleted yet.

Please move along if you don't have anything of value to add to the conversation @FlareFluffsune. Take your walls of text with you. Nobody gonna read that :steambored::steambored::steambored:

So you're gonna leave then? Because none of your comments have been adding any value or even attempted to make a counter-argument to logical points.
