McAfee VirusScan W95/CTX heads up

ckmo · #1 03-10-2006, 08:09 PM

Nothing like a virus scan in the background while multitabling that finds 35 infected files. I always knew party was sticking it to me. But it turns out McAfee screwed up.

from their website:
The 4715 DAT files contain an incorrect identification on W95/CTX under the following products:

The 4716 DAT files have been posted to correct this issue. If you are seeing W95/CTX detection, ensure that you are running the 4716 DAT files or newer.

Just a heads up before ya start worrying like I did.

I got this alert as well and nearly soiled myself. Here's McAfee's page on this false positive.

I got the same result...so how do I know if I'm running the right dat file?

Just run the McAfee update and you'll be fine.
