McAfee uses F-Secure technology?
It seems to me, McAfee makes use of some F-Secure "patent pending high-tech
malware detection technologies" now <g>.
Idiots are taking over...
If you are using McAfee, fire some emails to the guys. They detect your SB7
applications as malware now.

No, McAfee is even smarter than the F-Secure guys. They detect both SB6
*and* SB7 applications as malware now.

I think "idiots" is too nice.
If AVG begins to act like this I'll have to retire!<g>

And I think that when we are all retired or dead, F-Secure will still flag
SB7 apps <g>

There's no way they can look at content, is there?
I just did a test SB7 installer containing only notepad.exe.
McAfee didn't fuss.

Recompiled the same project with no code-signing on the installer.
Now, McAfee DOES flag it.
F-secure had said something about white-listing my certificate. That
doesn't seem to be the case with the f-secure version that virustotal is
running. Wonder whether they share their white-lists with McAffee?

I think what they do is they share their talented developers <g>
As far as I see, all code-signed SB7 apps are NOT flagged by McAfee. That
is good news -- but it also means that a code-signing certificate becomes
more and more vital in business.

Wonder if their shared developer newsgroup forum reads like our chat? <vbg>

Perhaps these talented developers?

see the top logo/story and another about 9 down starting with "SoftVel******
So perhaps the delays in fixing f-Secure are related to delays with CW7 / .NET

Jane and Friedrich,
OK, installed Trial Version - McAfee Home Office Total Protection in a
Clean Install VM - then installed Product Scope 7.9
No malware detections on Product Scope 7.9 - however, it is white-listed at
F-Secure (if they share lists) -
Also, F-Secure definitely didn't white-list my company certificate - only
SB install programs that I uploaded.
Also, ran McAfee custom scan including Program Files area -
only 1 file was flagged/deleted - something they call a Cookie-2o7
(potentially unwanted program detection) - out of 41 tracking cookies -
they deleted 1 (no specific details on that file).
Interesting news item on McAfee Home Page - Intel buyout agreement.
