    Anyone else had spotify deleted by McAfee?

    What's the beef?

    Is this a genuine virus alert or a mistake?

    McAfee sees a program actually doing what it is meant to and freaks out in case people suddenly expect it to find and remove malicious programs, etc.

    It's called a false positive, AntiVirus programs get them all the time. Feel free to vent your rage at McAfee though :thumb:
    Can I take this opportunity to recommend Avira AntiVirus to you?
