Possibly, most well known mods don't though. If you have an anti-virus program you should be fine.

Check the comment/reply section in the mod's thread to see what people are saying about it, if they say it's a virus you should generally stay away from downloading it.

Do mods for minecraft give you a virus?

They can but i've never ran into any, but when you're looking for mods try to look for a thread at minecraftforums.net to look for the best legitimacy. Look for comments to see if anyone report that it has a virus, or if you downloaded it already, get Malwarebytes then do a full scan of your computer. ~Mogex <(^^,)>
