C++ McAfee quarantines simple code
- Thread starter Sin74
- Start date
Solution
Hi there,
Great question. This issue happened a lot when I started to learn C++/C#. You will need to tell McAfee to ignore the program you are trying to make. I believe ignoring the IDE will do the trick, but I could be wrong. But here's a great resource from McAfee: https://service.mcafee.com/?articleId=TS100813&page=shell&shell=article-view it goes through how to stop McAfee from blocking apps and devices on Windows machines.
Let me know if that helped!

I think the better question is... what are you really trying to do with your code lol. McAfee, or any other AV/antimalware will only flag code that may have a signature similar to any known virus/malware...
Code:
//Hello World
/*Sin74*/
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string name;
cout << "Please enter your name: " << endl;
cin >> name;
cout << "Hello, " << name << endl;
}If that's a virus, imagine what I could do if I actually knew anything.
It should work now. There was a pesky semi-colon at the end of the link which broke the hyperlink.
I'm almost embarrassed. I feel like I should have noticed that. I used to be so into the web coding and trouble-shooting my employer's site back then. I've lost a lot.
Anyway, that seems to have done the trick. McAfee had no comment this time. Thanks!
