Yesterday, I was not even playing the game, my Avira anti virus scanner popped up and said this:
7109

I did a cache integrety check on steam, as three files were put to quarentine. Steam checked, told me some files were missing anfd donloaded the missing files.
Immidiatly my virus scanner started moaning again and placed the same files in the quarentine folder.
I cannot play the game at the moment.

Can anyone help?
I haven't got a clue what I'm supposed to do now.

its a false positive, by the looks of it.

I agree. It seems to be a false positive. Seems Avira doesn't like some of the DCS files.

You can probably safely put them back. If you are still concerned, maybe upload the files to an online virus scanner like Total Virus (https://www.virustotal.com/) and see if they come back clean.

Thanks.
I got this from the Total virus site:

7110

There's a bunch of "green tacked" virus scanners below it.
I guess it is safe to say it's not a virus?

If not, I'll find a way to make my scanner shut up about it.

Thanks for the quick replies. Appreciate it.

EDIT:
Got it sorted out with the scanner. It holds it's mouth shut. All is well again.
Thx guys....
