I'm fairly positive this detection is false.

McAfee is a virus.

It's a false detection, and for possibly the dumbest reason ever. The hint is "Dropper" being in the detection

Previous versions have no problem.

Yeah and machine learning is dumb and will take things even built on your own machine and sometimes call it malicious. I don't know what you need to hear, go look at other open source projects. This happens constantly

McAfee is a virus is not an uncommon view even among people who like AV solutions, you realize this right? McAfee and Norton are both constantly joked about being as bad as just having nothing at all if not actively worse

Had a similar thing happen to me with version 6.2.7, details are below.

Pretty sure whoever did it was a crypto miner, because whenever I would boot up my PC the CPU, GPU, VRAM and RAM would utilize 100% of their capacity and I was unable to do most things.

Crap, they are onto us. Close the repo boys.

Are you accusing an open source project of including crypto miners when literally anyone can check the source code and compile it yourself?
Did you read previous comments?

!ml at the end of the detection string means that the detection was done through machine learning. It causes a lot of false positives. As stated multiple times now, if you got nvse from this GitHub , in no way is it malicious.
