Hi @Johnys 

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. The McAfee application is working as per design and the executables are quarantined as per the mentioned functionality. We could try to submit the executable file and check for false positive. Please use the below article to submit the executable file for false positive review.

Me too . . . I'm getting very frustrated with McAfee

Please Stop Removing my Exclusions !

2022-08-06 09_16_02-.png

With every release of Office 365 McAfee removes my exclusion 

Constantly restoring my Exclusion for Microsoft Access is getting tiresome and frustrating.

Or provide a prompt and  easy way to continue to keeping the Exclusion in effect.

Or provide a choice to make the exclusion permanent.
