Yes, you do... if you had check the box that allowed downloads in setting. Map and skins. And, your always take a risk when you download files from "outside". Even true games.
But in this case u have get it from a boat ho is enclosed in the fleet. So It don't necessary to be anything wrong on the original file.... the boat-owner could had repack it with the virus.
But it's good the original owner check there file to be sure its OK.
