This started several weeks ago, I've been unable to get them to change their
stance..Hence the relatives have all been recommended to switch to a
different product (common you know you have no idea what your mom wants for
xmas) heh..

Hi everyone,

Looks like some overzealous idiot at McAfee added "Trojan" signatures for
202 files in the latest version of the Metasploit Framework. If you use
the Framework for your job and have a McAfee support contract, *please*
call them and let them know that their product is incorrectly tagging a
standard security tool as a "Trojan" and that this is interfering with
your ability to conduct business.

Business customers in the USA can contact McAfee Technical Support by
phone at 1-800-338-8754 or online at the following URL:
- http://www.mcafee.com/us/support/technical_support/

Home users seem to be out of luck for phone support, but can contact
McAfee through the TS portal:

Thanks!
