DLLs detected as Trojan Threath about mcpe_viz

[juan-franco]

I have updated the software right now, unzipped both versions, executed a quick scan and it didn't found any threat, all clean!

Thanks!!

That's very strange as the included DLLs come directly from the MinGW packages on a Fedora 24 machine. (That is: the DLLs are part of a package that a lot of developers use on a regular basis)

Where did you download mcpe_viz from?

More details would be very welcome!

Hi, I have downloaded from the link at "Quick Start -- How to run it on Windows with a GUI" section of the readme.md.

The files are:
D:\Documents\Minecraft\mcpe_viz-master\mcpe_viz.win64\QtNetwork4.dll
D:\Documents\Minecraft\mcpe_viz-master\mcpe_viz.win64\libstdc++-6.dll

The alert info refers to: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=Trojan%3aWin32%2fPeals.A!cl&threatid=2147690472&enterprise=0

I have just tried w32 version and no alert was detected

I hope that this helps, the application is really useful, great work!

Regards, Juan
