Submitting Serial Port Notifier v1.2.2.exe to VirusTotal shows 2 detections. While these are presumably incorrect, one detection is from McAfee software instead of being from one of the "usual suspects" for miss-identified malware.

It might be worth working with McAfee to clear up this problem.

    Thanks for the heads up - I've came across this myself as well. I'll submit to them as a false positive.

    I've rerun the scan on Virus total and McAfee now reports it as safe. This is a false positive.
