Has anyone else had there dll deleted by antivirus? We started getting tagged for this dll because it was used by a malware product, evilclippy (https://kalilinuxtutorials.com/evilclippy-malicious-ms-office-documents/).

Guilt by association I suppose!

I've sent a note to Trend Micro using their re-classification form at https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/about/legal/detection-reevaluation.html If you think it can be useful, please send a note you too. This misclassification is really annoying imho... Thank you, Federico

Same problem here. I've also sent a re-evaluation request to Trend Micro.

Thank you! And many thanks to all people asking Trend Micro for re-classification: I hope that they'll recognize this mistake.

Closing with the hope that this type of false-positive virus responses will not present again in the future.
