McAfee VShield falsely reports that Macro Express is infected with BackDoor-DG Trojan virus. This
is reported with VShield Scan Engine 4.1.40 or DAT versions 4.0.4215, 4.0.4216, 4.0.4217 and 4.0.4218. Other
anti-virus programs do not report this problem.
This has been corrected by McAfee. VShield DAT version 4.0.4219 and later are fine. However, 4243
combined with the old Scan Engine 4.1.40 is not.
