Came across this when poking around SIMS doing a test restore to another directory.

 

Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler.dll is being flagged by Avast Business as a potentially unwanted program. It lives in \\path\to\sql\MSSQL11.SQLINSTANCENAME\MSSQL\Binn\CLR\

I've submitted the .dll to Avast and they say:

 

The file has been added to our white list. Please allow up to 24 hours for the changes to propagate through out the avast servers.

 

which is nice.
