Hi Jason,

The interop.shell32.dll is just an interop assembly that contains metadata
used to consume COM type library from .NET. If you use Reflector
(http://www.aisto.com/roed...) to view it, you will see there're
just some interfaces or data structures.

It's probably because the malware you mentioned that has some identical
binary signature with this interop assembly. In my opinion, such issue
should probably be reported to the anti-virus software vendor.

That said, we might be able to workaround this by somehow changing the
content of this interop assembly so that it might bypass the anti-virus's
checking, but there's no guarantee that it will work.

You can give the interop assembly a strong name and sign it with a key
(such assembly is called primary interop assembly, PIA in short), this will
somehow change the binary content of the assembly. To do this, please refer
to following documents:
