i got the same thing with malwarebytes recently, saw JGSME, sh3commander etc as "rogue installers"
just add em to your Ignore list.

as far as macafee goes, you want to see our exception list in work, hell it things anything is a virus unless its listed in symantec's database so you have to exception any custom software, where it ignores digitally signed stuff.
don't worry about it.

hell doing some internet stuff for some friends and they were asking me about firewalls and stuff to protect their daughter.
they were worried that people will hack their machine and take all their stuff so i pointed out they've got something very good going for them.

they're insignificant.

ok i know that sounds condescending but if you look at it this way, they're one of MILLIONS of internet users who have nothing anybody wants so bad that they can target them directly, they earn an average wage and don't use the internet much and not even for banking so tbh there's no issue.

as for protecting their daughter, safe search options in Google work well and i uninstalled MSN (she's 6) they may consider a net nanny later on but they were being overly paranoid. companies like to sell you these "security" tool through fear, they make it seem like there's a moron round every corner waiting to steal your details.
hell my old man won't use his card on the net, he's adament about not doing so but there's no arguing with him
