McAfee antivirus decided to detect 1.0.5 as a "generic dropper" and delete it.

My solution: Disable McAfee while running the updater.

This is more of a workaround than a solution.

I have since been able to add apup.exe to the exceptions list for our organisation. Again though, this isn't ideal, although it works.

Thanks for the report.
It is especially irritating that McAfee do not check their updates against APUP before releasing them.

McAfee SiteAdvisor, however, still says we are clean.

In our tests, we found downloads on this site were free of adware, spyware, and other potentially unwanted programs.
