inject_dll_x86.exe being quarantined by virus scanners

Hi,

Would like to raise the issue that the file inject_dll_x86.exe is being quarantined by virus scanners. According to the available data, this file appears to be reaching out to an IP address in Japan.

That's really weird... the source code definitely doesn't have anything which access the net, although it injects a dll into another process though, so, I'm not surprised virus scanners tag it.

As a note, it's built locally by:

https://github.com/microsoft/ptvsd/blob/master/src/ptvsd/_vendored/pydevd/pydevd_attach_to_process/windows/compile_windows.bat

This should be fixed in v5.0.0a11
