Avast identifies a silverlight DLL as a possible evo-gen virus

/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Silverlight.plugin/Contents/MacOS/CoreCLR.bundle/Contents/MacOS/i386/Microsoft.Xna.Framework.ni.dll

Why is silverlight putting a “DLL” into a Mac? Avast thinks it is a Win32 “evo-gen”. Do I need to just stop updating Silverlight? I guess I have to delete this file. Will silverlight not work afterwards? Will this DLL keep coming in every time i have to update silverlight?

Win32:evo-gen [susp] = suspicious

you can test supicious file(s) here www.virustotal.com / www.metascan-online.com if tested before, always click rescan for a fresh result

you can report undetected samples or false detections here https://support.avast.com > avast virus lab

thanks, i will try to see how to do this. I wonder if anyone knows for a fact if the DLL is harmless. All the programs I tried it with said the other antivirus places do not detect it as a problem. It is a file in the Silverlight package for mac, which has other DLLs too.
