When I compile my ebook, McAfee immediately quarantines the .exe file, saying it contains trojan
GenericRXAJ-PN!5DF3D7D57EFC.
McAfee full scan, Malware Bytes, and Hitman find nothing suspicious. Peter Pan ebook example compiles OK and so does the sudoku example. Dreamweaver finds no problem with the HTML files: they display perfectly in a browser.
I have been compiling this ebook for over two years with no problem until now. What to do?

Did you disable your McAfee when building your EXE files? Antivirus programs dislike software that generate EXE files, because they consider this as a suspect behavior.

This doesn’t mean that your end users will have to shut down their McAfee too. It’s only your own McAfee that should be set off when compiling your project.

Finally, please upload your EXE file to www.virustotal.com and post the link for review here. When a false positive is detected, we contact the antivirus company to ask them to fix their false positive problem.
