McAfee classes SimpleHelp as a virus

I’m not a fan of McAfee these days and I’m just removing it from a rebuild Lenovo laptop. But before I could uninstall it, it flagged SimpleHelp as a virus. Should we be worried??

No, you shouldn’t be worried. Mcafee is a virus and needs to be removed.

A problem with customized executables is each customer needs to submit their version to AV companies.

McAfee false positive.

So does Sophos. Don’t worry it’s fine.
