Dangerous Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 The MSI install worked fine this time (2.1.1. unlike 2.1.0) but this time McAfee Total Protection identified it as a threat and quarantined the file. I have managed to copy them to a different drive before they were quarantined and was also able to copy them back to the user download library but on install Affinity reports that McAfee Framework Host must be closed and clicking ok the install continues, repeats the notice and after clicking ok again continues and installs correctly. I am also raising this issue with McAfee. Quote

walt.farrell Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 McAfee updates their virus signatures frequently, as do other AV vendors. They have probably recently added a bad signature to their list, and are now incorrectly claiming that some valid programs contain that virus.

I mean I have to download it, exclude it, download it again, run it, ok the report 'McAfee Framework Host must be closed' notice, ok it when it returns a 2nd time and do that for all 3 programs. She rang and said we got disconnected, I said no I ended the chat after that stupid 'fix'. I don't think she was impressed but she did then offer a more acceptable way to deal with it. Now just waiting for a reply. lol. walt.farrell 1 Quote
