Virus in sdl.dll?
« on: January 04, 2018, 09:11:19 pm »
Windows is telling me that I have a Trojan virus in sdl.dll called Peals.f!cl.

I am using PeridexisErrant's Starter Pack 0.43.05-r11, which was downloaded from a post on this site.

Anyone know anything about this?

The Starter Pack includes DFHack, no? DFhack uses a custom library that replaces sdl.dll. It's not malware, but it understandably has a tendency of being identified as such. Provided it's that, you can safely ignore Defender's warning.

Yes, it has DFHack included.
Thanks, that's all I needed to know. I assumed it was a false positive, but wanted to make sure.
