Many thanks Ryan! We will report to McAfee immediately.

For several days we tried to contact McAfee, finally they redirect us to this document. Today we sent them the latest version of Firework and we recieved such answer:


McAfee Labs - Beaverton
Current Scan Engine Version:5900.7806
Current DAT Version:8713.0000
Thank you for your submission.
Analysis ID: 10471409
File Name Findings Detection Type Extra
--------------------|------------------------------|----------------------------|------------|-----

inconclusive [fireworkinstaller.exe]
   Automated analysis was not able to determine that this file is malware. This file is
being sent for further processing and the DAT files will potentially be updated if
detection of this sample is warranted.
Note –
Due to the prevalence of network gateway AV products, it is important that all
submissions be zipped and the zip file password-protected (password - infected). Some
products will reject an email that contains a virus that is not sent in this way. In
addition, often we receive a file that appears not to have been infected, to find
later that the file was infected when it left the sender, and was cleaned somewhere
along the line.
Regards,
McAfee Labs


We hope that we will get some results soon.
