McAfee has reported that a program I have had installed for some time is malware. Specifically the program Installedcodec.exe from nirsoft is a Trojan "New Malware.jj" I haven't used it in some time but seemed to be OK when I did so. Anyone know if this is a false positive by McAfee? (I have already Googled for answer, no data but perhaps this is new). Michael

I have a 500GB backup disk to which I did a complete backup of my system about 3 times now.
