Hi Marcus,
I also use McAfee, and once had a similar issue. I was attempting to download a plugin (for a piece of software I have), from a site that a good friend runs. For some reason, on this one particular new plugin he created, I got the Trojan warning, and McAfee would not allow me to download this new plugin patch. My friend verified that there was no Trojan in that patch (which I already knew).
I contacted McAfee and explained the situation. With McAfee on the phone, we completely disabled McAfee. I then successfully downloaded the patch (a quick download), and the new plugin worked fine. Then McAfee was re-enabled, and I was told to (before I do anything else), do a complete scan of my computer with McAfee, to see if it again detects a Trojan in that plugin file that had now been installed, and if I’m asked if I want McAfee to remove it.
If it doesn’t detect any Trojan, have a nice day. If it does, call us back and we’ll help you remove it if you need help doing that.
I use that plug in all the time, and my computer has been scanned at least 20 times since that download. And I’ve never had another Trojan warning for that file since that first “false” warning when trying to download it.
I don’t know if this applies to, or helps you with your situation. But there it is for what it’s worth.
Now naturally, that was just my experience. Disable McAfee At Your Own Risk!
