Default McAfee AntiVirus


After installing MS antispyware (Beta1), my anti-virus
protection is detecting a trojan called "Exploit-
Byteverify"

Is this related to the automatic updates or otherwise
related to the antispyware or do I need to take some
protective action??

And if this is not related to the new installation, why
didn't the antispyware find it IF it is a trojan??

I'm betting on a McAfee false detection - not at all surprising considering
it is McAfee.
