As the subject says, I've been unable to download updated versions of Keepass as the anti-virus blocks it.

Is there something that can be done about this given that in my case, disabling the anti-virus is not an option?

McAfee

Unfortunately, that's another McAfee generic detection false positive. It's rather bad at those.

I've submitted a false positive report to McAfee. You'll have to wait for them to fix their error before updating.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the information.
Yes McAfee appears to be pretty lousy at his and it's regrettable.
