McAfee is deleting the "Hijack This" File

I keep trying to download the Hijack This file, but my McAfee anti-virus is telling me that the Hijack This is infected with some worm and then deletes it.  Is it infected, or am I doing something wrong.  My computer is really slow so I'm so desperate to figure out the problem!  Thanks.

    Thats normal, had the same thing happen with McAfee. Disable McAfee, and its Processes, then Run HJT. If you run a Virus scan, same thing will happen that you've experienced.

    This problem is widely known, and Mcafee have been notified of it on numerous times when it happend before, each time they have corrected the problem but again we wait for them to solve it again :smileywink:

    Thanks for the posts.  In addition to the McAfee problem with Hijack This, McAfee apparently is also causing my Internet connection to fail.  I've now deleted and reloaded Winsocks 4 times; each time I get 1 connection, then when I reboot, I lose the ability to connect.  Very frustrating!  I guess I should disable McAfee?
