After a long vacation from DB Pro, I upgraded my computer to Win 7 64 bit. I re-downloaded DBPro, installed it, and tried executing several demo projects that came with the program. Upon execution, DBPro says it "Could not create....." and the program terminates. A small error window pops up and says "Could not find a Dll (DBProImageDebug.dll). My McAfee On-Access Scan pops up and shows a VirusScan Alert! It says that it detected dbproimagedebug.dll as a Generic.dx!sxq and that it was deleted as a Trojan.
Should I ban DBPro from my computer? What is going on here? Any recommendations?
Thanks,
huertaaj

#1. DBPro is most defintaly not a virus
#2. McAfee is detecting a false positive in the .dll
#3. Its McAfee

JK, but just put dbPro compiler in your exceptions list in McAfee, then you can compile without annoying interuptions from a virus scanner picking up a false-positve.

You should report it to mcafee team, as it can affect distribution of your games.

dbproimagedebug.dll is a well known very dangerous virus. Come on, if you need a recommendation , ban Mc Afee instead...
