Farming Simulator: Alerts to malicious mods that destroy your saves and mods

For several days, certain Farming Simulator players (both 19 and 22) obtaining mods from unauthorized sites have been victims of a malicious script which deletes their saves as well as all the mods in their folder.

Advice: favor reliable sources and avoid others

If possible, only download mods from the official modhub or serious sites like those of the modders themselves.
The malicious LUA script is called "WindrowerExt" but it may have other names as well.
