Hi everyone, I’m a complete noob to UE4 and PCs’ in general so please bare with me. On video two of the UE beginner video tutorial series “Blueprint 3rd Person Tutorial Game” (link here: [https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Videos/PLZlv\_N0\_O1ga0IoRrpI4xkX4qmCrhGu56/rMOuDw5jnmk/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Videos/PLZlv_N0_O1ga0IoRrpI4xkX4qmCrhGu56/rMOuDw5jnmk/index.html))

you are instructed to go to the following link in order to locate and download an FBX skeleton exe file:

Now, I’m concerned because on that page under the file, it warns you that the file may contain malware. Although I realise that this is probably a standard procedure for providing downloadable files, I’m still reluctant to download it because I don’t know that it’s 100% safe. Have any of you downloaded this and can assure me that it’s safe and malware free? I would greatly appreciate it if anybody would take the time to answer my noob question.
