    So here is the deal my desktop has McAfee security on it ,and is saying that it has detected virus/spyware or something on/in the tech demo. Any ideas why? Because the computer says its a safe site but not a safe download. Can someone please tell me what is wrong with it.

    McAfee is crap. False positives on normal stuff, doesn't detect junk. Will never really uninstall unless you nuke it, and it hogs resources. Get rid of it and get malwarebytes and/or AVG.

    It probably think it's a virus because it has a lot of bugs reported.

    No. Antivirus doesn't read reviews on games. I wonder why my antivirus didn't ban Watch Dogs from my Pc then :p
