I had a similar problem. McAfee "found" a virus on a program and froze it. I deleted the software and asked the company to send me a fresh virus free software. They gave me the link, but asked me to go into McAfee Security and exclude a file. Then ask McAfee to give my new software a "go" and I have no idea how to do that.
You open Mcafee and go to second tab from the left ie PC security and open Real time scanning and exclude the file there. Unfortunately the file if detected will be quarantined if a scan either full or quick is run . The exclude only works for when file is run.
Better to submit the file for testing
