Hello and welcome to TSF
This section of the forum is for Virus/Trojan/Spyware help and not really a forum for asking generally question, that section would be
General Computer Security. However, if you are no longer receiving messages from Mcafee about the Generic Downloader then it would be safe to assume that Mcafee has dealt with it.
As to what is a Generic Downloader, please see website below.
