When I try to download this mod(I know the mod is safe), it freezes when the download is finished and says scanning for viruses, then when i go to the folder, i can't open or delete or do anything to the file, it just freezes.

Ok that didn't work. I tried to turn the scanning off, and it did turn off, but it still froze up.
