Combofix Download Issue With Trojan Virus

Tried to download Combofix from CNET and McAfee blocked due to detected Trojan virus. Has anyone else had this problem?

McAfee does flag it as a virus, but all other major scanners, with the exception of Sophos, give it a clean bill of health. Thus, given that combined with the program's popularity and low complaint ratio, I'd say it is most likely a false positive, a mistake on McAfee's part. Regardless, exercising caution is always a good idea when a questionable flag is raised.

Thank you, John. I guess I'll try the download again after disabling McAfee.
