ATTENTION ALL GMOD PLAYERS
(THIS WAS NOT MADE BY ME THIS WAS TAKEN FROM A USER FROM THE GARRYS MOD DISCUSSIONS I UNFORTUNATELY CAND CREDIT THEM CAUSE I DO NOT REMEMBER THEIR USERNAME) The addons made by the user Guinea Pig / AirPuppy have been compromised. same as before. Screamer and Goatsee.

User profile: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/Guineapig23985/myworkshopfiles/

If you have any of the addons mentioned here, Proceed to wipe your workshop folder:

Realistic Player Speed
Smart Interaction
Food SWEPs Pack
[SRD] Base
S.T.A.L.K.E.R Detector Sweps V2
PCMod 15 [Fixed] + UPDATED

What these addons will do is at a random time after loading into the game (Typically 5-15 seconds) they'll put an overlay over your whole screen of a screamer alongside a loud screaming sound. Then they'll show an image of Goatsee (You don't want to see that.).

If you're affected here's what you need to do:
UNSUBSCRIBE FROM *ALL* YOUR ADDONS VIA THE UNSUBSCRIBE FROM ALL BUTTON
Then go to your Garrys Mod folder (generally in SteamApps) and delete the Workshop and Downloads folder. It's also recommended you delete Lua and Config and then verify the game's integrity by using Steam's Game Properties tab (Look up a tutorial on how to do this. It's easy.), It'll redownload the game's stock files so you might need to change a couple settings back but it's best to do this just in case the addon has managed to infect other files (Which I doubt but it pays to play safe.)

Stay safe everyone.
