McAfee Endpoint Security detects Skitch downloaded from AppStore as Potentially Unwanted Program (pua)


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I don't know if it's correct place for report this issue but I didn't find any better.

Today I have faced with issue that when I'm installing Skitch from AppStore, McAfee detects it as Potentially Unwanted Program (pua) and cleaning it.

But when I'm installing Skitch from Evernote web-site it's installing correctly.

The log from McAfee ePO server:
