It is definitely a McAffee issue. They detect viruses (in part) by
binary signatures characteristic of files that do damage. Apparently
they recently introduced a definition that happens to pattern-match
something in a Director projector.
Contact them and yell. A lot. This is not new to them and they damn
well have an obligation to fix it. Any anti-virus manufacturer should
be immediately responsive any time their software generates false
hits. They are essentially impugning the good name of a purveyor of
legitimate programs and open themselves up to liability issues. In a
slightly different world they are basically guilty of libel.
