Yes it is. It is never a good idea to have multiple anti-virus applications installed on the same computer. They will always conflict with each other.

Only thing we can do is clear the temp files and remove this McAfee. We are running a mix of Symantec SAV's including Endpoint and Kaspersky 6.0 - updating everything to Kaspersky. What is this virus coming in?
