ephinea.dll now flagged as a Wacatac trojan since the christmas update

[Zeag]

Look, I know this has been discussed probably several times, but I have seen no threads yet regarding ephinea.dll flagged as a wacatac. Can we get some technical details on why it is so? I got a few friends getting cold feet from hopping on the server because of those flags...

My client started reporting this today, as well. Turns out my game directory wasn't added in the exclusion list (or was lost somehow).

It's a false positive based on how the Ephinea.DLL loads things into memory. =p The servers safe.
