    Hi Borrowers ,Thank you, but I think that Macafee probably done the Job its self,we will wait and see:) (This is only a Possibility)
    Artemis is new technology introduced by McAfee last year,
    I believe its a new heuristic scan? heuristic scan is a scan that looks for unknown Trojans/Viruses, So the (generic artemis) detected (may) well be a false positive being detected by McAfee :)
