Virus warning TCE_707.exe

[CavOk]

I'm not sure what to make of this but having just completed a McAfee full scan on my pc the above file TCE_707.exe is reported as a Trojan. Apparently it lives here C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Captain_Sim\707\tce\TCE_707.exe
I've googled the file and there is plenty of forum talk and people having difficulty in getting rid of it.
For the record McAfee has quarantined the file. Anyone got any further knowledge on this issue?
I'll also post this over in the FS9 forum

It's a false positive. My recommendation is to dump McAfee and install the free Microsoft Security Essentials.

Thanks kilo delta I've taken your advice and dumped McAfee and installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Further research identifies the file as the Texture Configuration Editor supplied by Captain Sim. I think McAfee has wrongly identified this file and the reason why so many people have had trouble getting spyware programs to remove it is because its not spyware or trojan in fact I think quite harmless. Unfortunately I can't find the quarantined file so it is temporarily lost. Thanks again for your help and advice.
