I had to redownload FCE Ultra here to watch the NES TASes (because one file was missing and it wouldn't open), but.. one of its files, this lua51.dll, keeps being accused as a trojan by Avira.. TR/PSW.Nilage.hmo or something ... is it dangerous? Is it completely harmless? Should I delete it and search for a non-trojan version? Or is it the lua51.dll a set of malicious codes to run on TASes? o_o

It is a false positive. There is nothing malicious about any lua dll hosted by fceux.com or tasvideos
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

Any reason why other lua51.dll files out there are a different file size?

I have a quick fix for lua.dll : compress and decompress it with upx 3.07 and the false alarm from avira is gone. @ Nach : some are compressed with upx, some are uncompressed, some are compressed with other exe compressor, some are compiled within the emulator they belong so they may be smaller if the proper option is set within the compiler
May the moon and the sun of arkantothia protect you.

I'm getting a false positive from Avast as well, incidentally.

I thought it would have something to do with UPX when I saw the thread title.
