McAfee 8.0 Moving VB exe file to QUARANTINE folder

[pakmarshal]

Hi All,

We have a program developed in VB6 and installed on hundreds of users
scattered around the world. This program is automatically run by an NT
service once a day. It's been running fine for the last 4-5 years.

Please note that all the users have exactly the same operating
environment, i.e. McAfee virus scan 8.0, OS is Windows XP SP2 and MS
office 2003 SP1.

Now SOME of the users have experienced a problem. The McAfee Virus
scan is moving the program's exe into C:\Quarantine folder and
renaming it to *.vir

Can you please advise why this problem is caused?

Have you looked at the logfile to see what "virus" McAfee pretends to find when it move the exe to quaratine?
