So, I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff. Does it mean anything?

If you downloaded it from the Official Wiki it should be fine. TexMod sometimes gives false positives because it modifies the way another program works, which is usually only done by malicious programs.

The version link on the official wiki is tested on a regular basis to make sure it hasn't been modified. It's been scanned, checked, and confirmed to be clear of any virus. However, since it does intercept program data and alter it, it does share similar characteristics of a virus. Scanners that check only for behavior, rather than code, will throw out a false positive alert.

With that being said, I have seen altered versions of texmod that ask for login details, so you need to make sure you only download a verified copy.
