Meh, anyone who relies on Mcafee\Norton shouldn't be using DosBox anyway.

Yes, one more reason to finally get rid of this program. 😒

@Dosfreak: Yeah, you're right: Also Norton and its different utilities cause more problems than they actually solve.

Just for addition: it's definitely a false alarm by that scanner.
The files have been unpacked and disassembled and there
was NO virus/viruslike code found.
Also that report is quite old, they don't seem to update that
