• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Virus warning TCE_707.exe

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.
