Hello Tech Support,

I have McAfee Security Suite installed on my computer. I received a message from McAfee that Generic Downloader had been detected. I was asked if I wanted McAfee to remove it or if I wanted to remove it manually.

I checked the box for McAfee to remove it. Right after that, I ran a complete McAfee scan of my computer. Nothing was detected.

Since I have received no further messages from McAfee and nothing was detected on the complete scan, am I safe in assuming that McAfee was able to remove it successfully?

Also, does Generic Downloader gain access to a computer through a download, or could it also access through the clicking of a link on a webpage?

Your forum is a wonderful find. I will appreciate your reply.
