Hey guy's I was doing a quick system scan for viruses and what not, and it popped up with:
C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\Launcher\avvcodec-53.dll (Win.trojan.5946697 Found)
It also found
D:\Program Files\Steam\bin\avcodec-53.dll: Win Trojan 5946697 Found..

So the same file in both directories, I'm just wondering if this is one of those files that pop on virus scanners, but they're actually not viruses at all? I'm currently using Clamware which detected both of the files, out of curiosity I also ran windows Defender which I know it sucks, those files didn't pop that one.. I just wanted to check before I try to eradicate these files.
