Had been using SDv4 and then SDv5 beta3 without any problems until I installed SDv5 beta4. First start up after installing beta4 my McAfee AntiVirus promptly disabled. I then went offline and ran a McAfee VirusScan which showed up a New Malware.z Trojan infection which I removed. Then ran a SD full scan which found a Hotbar infection but told me it couldn't be removed when I tried to fix it. The next morning I tried to connect to the internet and this time my McAfee Firewall disabled. I went offline again and ran the SD scan which was clean, no sign of the Hotbar infection which couldn't be removed after the previous scan. I decided to reinstall SD4 to see if this was simply a problem with SD5 B4 but same problem with the Firewall shutting down. I noticed that it came back up several minutes later so unchecked the "scan on startup" box and havn't had any problems since, but McAfee still shuts down if I recheck the box. Havn't tried reinstalling SD5 again, I'm a bit wary! All AntiVirus and SD scans have been clean apart from the usual cookies since I picked up the New Malware/Hotbar infectins when my AntiVirus switched off. Any connection between the two? As I never had this problem before I installed SD5 b4 why is it now affecting SD4 which ran without any problems before?
