Thread: McAfee uses F-Secure technology?

  1. #1

    Default 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>

    <BG>

    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?

    http://www.offshore-software.ru/Cust...7/Default.aspx

    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.
