So the problem is... so far I have not been able to find any safer alternatives in extracting the .pak files in order to use Editor to its full capacity. Really wish the devs would have packaged the official packer/unpacker tools with the editor.
A lot of files (story scripts, char and item scripts, stats) are stored in 'Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition\Data\Editor\Templates', at least for the Steam version of the Editor (don't know if they finally added the files to the GOG version as well). Cadmus88 from Larian has also provided a download link in this thread:
http://larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=582571#Post582571 But even without those files the editor is far from being 'completely broken and unusable'.
I don't want to abuse FrauBlake's thread for off-topics, but since you brought that up (and I'm interested in what this is about):
Indeed, it's a questionable find, but I would really wonder if Norbyte 'deliberately' added adware to his tools; and to accuse him of doing so, in passing and without evidence, is not acceptable, especially considering the amount of time he invests to continuously support us.
It's even yet unclear if this might be a false alarm of Comodo; Comodo is the only software (of 57 antivirus softwares) which seems to detect this.
The affected file, as the report says, is LZ4.dll. From a research, and looking at the file itself, it can be seen that it's a compression method not created by Norbyte but someone called Milosz Krajewski who translated LZ4 to C# (the original author of LZ4 is Yann Collet). So if there's adware included, it might come from sources previous to Norbyte or be an infection from other sources (I'm not familiar with these things); it most likely does (file analysis of LZ4.dll from 2015; and again, only Comodo detecting this):

Edit: All right, posted it in Norbyte's thread:
EE pak extractor.
