Heads up on false virus warning.

Madbat

I'm using panda antivirus, it flagged freeimage.dll as suspicious. This is a false warning, freeimage.dll is a library used by the Iray render engine (among other graphics programs).

On Win 7 x64 it should be located in the following directory:

C\Program Files\Daz 3D\DazStudio4\libs\iray\freeimage.dll

Appears to be a false positive.

Well, that's interesting as we already have Kaspersky flagging it. I would still tend to agree that it's a false positive, but it's always wise to check against other scanners (things like Malware Bytes which can be run on demand without conflicting with your resident checker, or an online checker that offers the file to multiple scanners - though obviosuly you need to be careful either way that the tool you are using is not itself malware).

Just for info:

I scanned the directory and the file again with malwarebytes premium, and got nada. 

Basically, as far as I understand it, freeimage.dll is a library file that's used to fetch your scene assets and textures. Remove it temporarily as an experiment and run a render, it will come out textureless and pink. It's an open source library file used by quite a few programs.
