SDK Manager virus?

Hi,

McAfee doesn't like the SDK Manager and thinks it has a virus. Is this spurious???

As a temporary fix, I've found if you turn off McAfee scanning, install and run the sdkmanager. When you turn off the scan you can set it to turn back on after a certain amount of time, and that's what I do.

This all started with an update to the virus definitions a few days back.

We believe this is a false positive.We saw the same issue when scanning with McAfee after we received a similar report, but no other anti-virus software we've used has flagged SDK Manager as a threat. We're working on a solution, but in the meantime you can use a work-around like Jim suggests or perhaps whitelist the file locally (I'm not very familiar with McAfee, but I assume it has this capability).

McAfee has dumbed down it's interface a lot but you can exclude a file from real time scanning - but you have to get the timing right otherwise it deletes it again as you try to copy it.

Took me a bit but I have the sdkmanager excluded.
