"McAfee is aware that a number of customers have incurred a false-positive error due to incorrect malware alerts on Wednesday, April 21. The problem occurs with the 5958 virus definition file (DAT) that was released on April 21" at 6 a.m. PT, the company said in a statement.

ICS reported that it was a false positive which identifies a regular Windows binary, "svchost.exe", as "W32/Wecorl.a", a virus.
