McAfee keeps deleting my exe when NOT a trojan!!!!!

[megan123]

All of a sudden McAffee has started deleting my Microsoft Agent Scripting Helper executeable (mash.exe) and calling it a trojan

Artemis!A01E6DAA64E1 (Trojan), Artemis!A01E6DAA64E1 (Trojan)
Location: C:\Program Files\BellCraft.com\MASH\MASH.exe

It is NOT a trojan - AND I need to be using it RIGHT NOW!!! to get my work done

how can I stop this??? IMMEDiATELY!

thanks, Megan

Sorry it's happening but until someone from that department spots this I suggest you email the labs disputing the finding at virus_research@avertlabs.com   Put following as the header False Artemis!A01E6DAA64E1

There's also this document that spells out other steps to try:  https://community.mcafee.com/thread/2016

OK but the thing that really REALLY bugs me is that the program would delete something from my computer without my permission - it should ask me what I want done with it e.g. ignore/put on a safe list, quarentine, or delete - whatever happened to the idea of "Keep the User in control" ???? megan

I agree that it should ask first and we have requested more user control to be introduced on the home product as already exists in the commercial product.  Whether or not they take notice we shall have to wait and see.

GE stands for the Korean online RPG called Granado Espada. I play the English version from Singapore, but i looked on goolge about ge.exe and i do find IT is also known as a virus, as well as 119 differant others. So can someone please sort this Granado Espada thing out to your data base please.
