McAfee says IPView contains a virus
McAfee says IPView contains a virus
I went to use IPView this morning and noticed the exe was missing. After downloading it from http://www.ipview-analyzer.de and installing it again McAfee says it contains a virus. It detects it as New Poly Win32 virus. It looks like since the Dec 23rd DAT file it detects it as a virus. Anyone else run into this?

I got the following answer:
In Mcafee SecurityCenter - > Computer&Files -> Virus-Protect is active-> more , disable "Search for Unknown Viruses"

Re: McAfee says IPView contains a virus
But wouldn't it affect the whole system? Maybe a good option would be to add the EXE itself to some exclusion list...

This should be used with any of the McAfee AV Scanners.

Then copy the Extra.dat we have sent you to the same folder where one of the above is located.
