Possible to create a missing Sidebar.php file?

    I got a free WordPress theme that is a perfect design for what I want but when unzipping it my AVG anti virus warns me that it is unsafe because of virus and deletes the file Sidebar.php straight away.

    The theme works fine basically but by missing the Sidebar.php I can not include important plugins that I want.

    Currently, the sections Pages, Archives and Categories are showing in the place where the Sidebar.php should be. I couldn't find them in the code.

    So, the question is: Can I include the Sidebar.php in that theme?

    The blog is www.Consecrator.com

    Thanks for any help.

    Yeah, just create a php file titled Sidebar and place it in the themes file. But you would need to code it yourself.

    Ask the author or the theme for a new sidebar.php file, without the virus. Or just open the file on your friends computer :) ;)

    Well, as the author was tring to cheat by including a virus, he would not help for sure. At least not without a new virus.

    Using a friend's computer is a nice idea but I don't think he would be my friend after that anymore...

    Yes, I did that before but the design got screwed.

    However, just looked more attentively in the code now and it is working. For me anyways. Thanks for the tip. Left a rep for you.
