Hi.
I upgraded to build 2210 yesterday and during its daily scan, my antivirus (Bitdefender 2017) flagged VANetObjMD.dll as dangerous. I reinstalled VA to be sure, and the file (which has the SHA256 hash 5889618cb551d3872add2ea05758d5cedc7d6ea02cf7a711c14bae9d66fc4cc0) was detected as infected again.
I submitted the file to virustotal.com and it turns out the file is reported as infected by 15 A/V solutions out of 60. The report is here:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/5889618cb551d3872add2ea05758d5cedc7d6ea02cf7a711c14bae9d66fc4cc0/analysis/
Can you investigate and confirm it is a false positive?
My setup:
Windows 10 Pro 64bit EN
Visual Studio 2015 Pro EN
Visual Assist build 2210 |

I think this is a false positive, partly because when I ask VirusTotal to scan the VA 2118 version of this dll, I am told the last scan report showed one or two positive results, but a re-scan says the file is clear for all scanners. So this suggests that while there is something about the file that looks odd, it is being found and discounted.
I have emailed Symantec about this, to see if they agree. |

| VirusTotal is now reporting 8 hits, so it appears that for at least 7 of the 15 hits, they were false positives. |
