We may try to use UPX compressor on the libeay32.dll to get rid of this false 
positive, a solution found here:

Or maybe upgrading to a newer version of PHP 5.5 will get rid of the problem.

We may also want to delete the php.ini-development and php.ini-production files 
to get rid of the Bkav false positive. It's probably a false positive because 
of the unusual extension.
