What antivirus was that?
I just ran my latest Avast over the silverlining folder and nothing was found.
Antivirus search for code signatures, and sometimes find something suspicious using its newest definition files which wasn't there before. Silverlining is used in other games and simulations as well, so antivirus makers should be familiar with its files.
Have you tried to manually scan your Railworks folder using the newest antivirus definitions? You can always send in a suspicious file for extra thorough inspection to your antivirus maker.

Running webroot. Probably just a false positive. Note that there are the same files for opengl, dx10 and dx11 plus also in other folders. No other prompt an alert. Message in to supplier. Also deleted file and ran verify. Still an alert.
