Interesting, "Steam" had similar issue some weeks ago:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/526870/discussions/1/4751949102181452272/

And the funny thing, the file affected was:
FactoryGameSteam-GeometryAlgorithms-Win64-Shipping.dll

Judging by the filename I doubt that this is a coincidence :D

Of course, I can't tell whether it's actually a Trojan or a false 
positive. But maybe the Steam community has already investigated this 
(they have a few million more users).
