McAfee antivirus moving a VB6Program.exe into C:\QUARANTINE folder

[Bash]

Hi All
I am using a VB6Program.exe program which is run by a windows service
twice a day in the hidden mode.
For some reason, McAfee antivirus software has become more aggressive
and is now seeing a harmeless VB6Program.exe as a virus and moving it
to the C:\QUARANTINE folder (and adding the extension .vir). I am
using the Windows XP Service Pack 2 and McAfee antivirus version 8.0

I am using it from 3 to 4 years but this problem has never occured
before this. Other people are also using the same program with same
environment but only two or three persons have this problem, all other
have no such problem.

Do any one has any idea why McAfee antivirus software is doing so?

Thanks & Regards
Basharat

Could be any one of many reasons, but with no more information than this it is all guesswork. Send the file to McAfee and ask them what is triggering the virus ID.
