Unknown 124MB Mod - Potential Virus ?

[Max4k 727]

I was looking though images on Google and came across an item that looks legit, but sends you to a different site and file is 124MB  Im not sure what this is, but it uses MattB325 image for Urban School.

Anyone know what this is ?  I wont post link, but it shows in image.  If I do a Google Search for - SimCity fasrdial  , it shows up as top result and no other info on this person

An observation I notice is how your address bar says a different URL there, which I wonder if could be a spoof Google search?

Otherwise it might be that particular site is infected, and tracking it down to a VirusTotal scan for what I believe matches up to what you've found. On there it currently reports one suspicious report. In any case, we do not endorse any site where custom content or software is offered without being legitimate. Any site which copies items from the STEX or LEX is likely to be done without permission from the original authors, and as such there is no guarantee that other nasties aren't bundled as well.

Wouldn't touch it with someone elses barge pole mate. Original file is 7.07Mb in size, 124Mb version just smells fishy.

farsdial is a blog from some hosting site called Weebly. It's a collection of mods somebody put together(all of which can be got here) that apparently has over 48000 dl's. My AV didn't detect anything. Looks basically to be clickbait for something.

I don't know what that Ebly.com is in address and unable to reproduce and not in my history, unless associated with google.  I was hitting few options within the google result and some internal thing with google for photo options gave that.

I was also thinking, maybe there was a discussion and Matts photo or link was also in same discussion thread and Google may have lumped everything together. 

By going to Google and typing Google Search for - SimCity fasrdial , it sort of mentions reference to NAM, so maybe some old thing for NAM.

 

Edit: yea, that Ebly is broken off and it's weebley.com and sub domain of google in full address

I see a lot of my images that have been made available used to dupe or provide legitimacy to clickbait sites.

To clarify, I only upload my work to SC4Devotion or Simtropolis. 

If you see my work on any other site, it hasn't been uploaded by me, nor do I endorse it being there. The only exception is SimcityChina, which includes my files uploaded by another user.
