- DBloke (1/1) Apr 28 2009 No problem,
Some antivirus programs, such as McAfee and Symantec, have misidentified \dm\bin\cl.exe as a virus. cl.exe is not a virus. Symantec says they have updated their virus signatures to no longer label cl.exe as a virus. McAfee may need to be disabled in order to run the scw32.exe IDDE because McAfee incorrectly blocks it.
