Solved: McAfee Intrusion Alert
I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction for the McAfee problem my boss is experiencing. I've searched the forums already and didn't find anything yet.
I have two laptops that are receiving a "McAfee Intrusion Detection Alert" every few minutes. The alert describes an intrusion type for "Remote COM Activation by Desktop.ini and the only option available is to ignore the alert. My company uses McAfee VirusScan Enterprise + AntiSpyware Enterprise 8.5.0 along with McAfee Intrusion Protection on laptops. Since my IT Team doesn't administrate the McAfee server, I'm not sure what is getting pushed down to our computers. I am more concerned as to why this is happening and what I can do to fix it.

Both laptops are Sony Vaio running Windows XP Pro w/SP2. I do not receive this error when I login, so it might be profile specific (guessing). Since McAfee is detecting a problem with desktop.ini files, I have removed all of them and it still generates the same intrusion alert.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I would suggest contacting your IT support, product manager for McAfee or McAfee support/on-line forums for this.

My guess is the product is not updating correctly. This problem was resolved quite some time ago.

Thank you cybertech. That is what I assumed, but I don't have any information to prove it to our administrator. I'll mark this post as Solved.
