u/P_in_a_jar

About 2 months ago there was an incident where malware was found in 4 mods on modworkshop.net.
I just came across this info literally hours after installing my first couple mods.
I cannot find any recent posts regarding the issue, so I wanted to ask if there are any updates on the topic.
Does the issue still persist, and are there safety checks in place now, like they were talking about in the forums?
I'm no software guy, so any help will be appreciated before I factory reset my PC just to be safe.
I checked all the mods for download numbers, which is the only way I know how to tell wether the mod is legit.
Pls help.
