This tool checks the pc/laptop on malware.
Seems to work very good and is tested by a belgian consumers organisation (Test aankoop)

I suggest you don't get this if you are running McAfee, it thinks it is a trojan.
Works with other anti-virus programs though.

are you running the free version of macafee? if so the reason is:

free version antivirus are full of last years trojans/malware, free versions DO NOT update with the latest viruses and remove them - only the paid versons do this.
free version are also a good way for your bank to turn you down if you get hacked or have keyloggers...if someone steals money your bank WILL NOT pay you back if you have free antivirus software on your computer.

running free antivirus is like giving the local chavs a spare key to your house and not expecting to be done over!

so yes the malware tool will see it as malware because thats what it is! free version have malware built in, paid versions have them listed and removed.

Never rely on one product alone.

You should have one realtime scanner (whatever your preference) and then back that up with on demand scans from one or two others.

Personally I use McAfee for realtime (cause I get a free subscription from my ISP), Malware Bytes for on demand and Windows Defender Offline for on demand when the PC is not booted (catches rootkits and boot sector viruses that hide from the OS and are not normally detectable).

Avoiding the more dodgy left handed websites helps too ;)
