When the message pops up that the file has been moved to the chest, you will have two options, one to exclude the .dll file from future scans, and one to report it as a false positive. Choose the first. Then open Avast user interface, go to Maintenance --> Virus Chest, right click on DSETUP.DLL and click restore.

Worked for me. I should have gotten a "You have gotten better at computers! (3)" message somehow. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Where's the option to exclude the .dll file from future scans?

When I get the error from EQ, Avast also opens a red window announcing proudly (and rather stupidly, in this case) "SUSPICIOUS FILE BLOCKED". "Add the file to the scan exclusion list" is the first of two listed options.

Real-time Shields > File System Shield - Last checked should be Dsetup.dll. From here go to "Expert Settings" and then "Exclusions". Now add an exclusion for your file path. Mine is C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest\Dsetup.dll



Now go to your chest and restore the file. Done.


Edit - The above method is to exclude it from executions. As in, when you start EQ it snatches the .dll. To remove it from manual and scheduled scans go to Settings->Exclusions and then enter the file path.
