I downloaded Libre Office on two computers.

McAfee Scan picked up "RDN/Generic Downloader.x"

Download Site:

It'd be great if you inform McAfee about this - they consistently seem to have issues with over aggressive detections that mislead users.

Best,

Not to mention the fact that it misses lots of real threats.

Anyone who uses Mcafee or Norton should rethink their decision.

Hi,

I will be doing that. I found out early this morning the same as you are mentioning. This is frightening, especially if you are dependent on the computer for your family and work.

Thanks!
