McAfee finding viruses Norton missed[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#83)

Well, for years McAfee has said one machine of mine has potentially unwanted program on it. Only I know exactly what the file is that it's griping about and there's nothing one bit malware about it. I can believe it could be useful to a malware author but so can an awful lot of other things. It's a commercially-available compression routine in an OBJ file. What's an AV program doing even looking at an OBJ???
