McAfee help

[rkennett79]

I logged onto my computer this morning McAfee decided winvnc.exe contains a virus.

It gives no info about the discovery or anything. Do you think it is saying it is a virus just because it is remote control software? There really isn't anything wrong with the program, right?

Thanks

This appears to be widespread: http://community.mcafee.com/showthread.php?t=223730

Emdy is correct. I really dislike McAfee.

well, that almost solved the problem. now mcafee finds vnc in the restore points and detects it as a virus. now i have to add policies for individual files.

u may need to do this : and after creating exception for that ... delete all previous restore points and create new restore points, OR, stop the indexing service, clear/empty old indexes, restart indexing srvc, if that doesn't clear the virus warning, then clear the restore points, create new ones.
