I can always download the ZIP file, which begs the Question just WHY did they include the Optional ZIP file if they were not already aware that McAfee was testing out the EXE file as a false Positive? I think so!!!!!!! Martin

Do you have any prove for it ? I scanned it with latest AVG and several online scanners and they did not find anything. I doubt that there is a virus in the file. Do you have any prove for it ?

Another good solution aside from adaware and spybot is ccleaner (crap cleaner). I would recommend most novices try that first and see if the problems don't go away. It great that a new version of hijackthis is here. I have used hijack this many times over the years on friends computers.
