[WT-support] FW: Escalation: 3534400 - False Positive report since March 22 DAT release

[Paul Cassel]

For you McAfee A/V users who kept loosing the WT.EXE after each scan, I was
able to submit the wt.exe executable to McAfee. Surprise - they did not find
a virus or worm in WinTest.

The next DAT release should fix the issue
