McAfee - False Positive

[NewsArchive]

Hello -

We have a large setup that 2 customers have not been able to complete
a download because McAfee says no.

Anyone have any Mcafee false positives lately?

Since it's 400+MB, Virustotal can't help me out here.

Hi Jeff!

Usually, the false positive are relative to some api calls (hooks,
servicemanager...)

I use to report the false positive on my exe or dll to the anti-virus
vendors. But lately I prefer to call those API by "name" using load
library... false positive gone!

Jeff,

try to recompile your setup. The heuristic detection in McAfee might detect
a specific byte combination in your setup.exe. Sometimes a re-compile /
re-code-sign can help in this case.
