...then I come to think of that many of these are not some kiddies trying to get money on foolish people but quite dangerous people that live on stealing in both the real world and online, many with connections to different mafias and other illegal groups you don't want to give your name to (or pay that visit to).
What I do wonder about thought is how well it works to tell google about these sites. Feels like 9minecraft and 6minecraft should have been closed down ages ago if google actually listened to complains from regular people.
This is an important point to make. Not the case for all of them of course, but a lot of sites that install malware of one form or another are doing so in order to finance themselves, and the fact they finance it like this is a strong indication that some of these groups are very dangerous people, many with real blood on their hands.

Oh, I want this, but with my allowance of making custom builds for singleplayer and the fact anything I do seems to induce drama - as it is, the "connect with a server" code used to check for updates generated a lot of criticism - (and the fact I do not use a build server), I do not know if I can.
Simply add a version number to DragonAPI, and host a text file containing the latest version number. Then compare the local and the remote version numbers (I might do this myself). Just in case, add a config option to manually authorise the mod. The drama thing is more complicated to solve.
@Reika, @CoolSquid Have either of you seen VersionChecker? I just added support for it to my mods, and it's super easy (2 lines plus a versionlist.json I added to my git repo) and seems like it may be a good solution to at least some of your problems
Outstanding! I laughed all morning. ...and I'm sorry too if I offended anyone by finding it hilarious and true.
Thanks! Originally I was making it so I could show my friends because my mod was completely swallowed up by these sites but about halfway in I changed it so I could post it here. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Though I doubt Curse is running them all through a virus checker (they may be, but I doubt it). Really, as long as you download the mod from an official source, you should be fine - unless you download through Adf.ly and you click on one of the dubious ads on that screen (never do that - just wait and click 'Skip Ad').

this statement is reminding me of when i was a mod noob, i downloaded a mod from here and had no idea what to do (not noticing skip ad) and ended up downloading ilivid, now i don't ever open that old pc and use this one
You've awoken on this barren wasteland planet, a civilization once ruled and proud, but where is everyone? All the buildings are empty, nothing remains, all that can be seen is mass hordes in all directions of zombies, skeletons and other creatures never before seen. Inside isn't safe, Outside isn't safe, what will u do to survive this planet and escape? Can you survive the 1st day without death claiming you?
There is no natural light, when night time comes it's pitch black, no moon light and all that is heard is the scratching and moaning of whats around lurking to destroy you. Mining reveals unbeknownst horrors from the rocks just waiting to come out and devour your soul. Puddles of liquid blue or purple are not water, but also intent on harming you.

Where is the best place to find, safe virus free Mods?
minecraft forums :P.
Most mod authors post the real mod download link through Minecraft Forums.
Curse and MCF. Curse is even checking all mods before they are published.
really?
Yes. I'm personally using it for 6 of my mods.
