McAfee Warning
McAfee gave me a warning message when downloading the Windows app. McAfee version 16.0.4
Answer
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 --------------------|------------------------------|----------------------------|------------|----- fireworkinstaller.ex|inconclusive | | |no 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.
