I have been getting automatic messages from McAfee Site Advisor (that a "Potentially Dangerous Download Has Been Detected."

In long discussions with them, they are laying the blame on Microsoft Excel. I told them that it is happening even when Excel is open, but absolutely no macros are running.

They have taken control of my PC and can't find anything. I have scanned my Hard Drive many times and nothing. My Malware program scans everytime the computer is turned on with no problems.

If I was clicking on a link or macro that opened a website, I can understand that this could happen. I can not believe that simply running a macro (no internet) would cause this either.

Hope you guys can understand what I am explaining and asking about.

Straight out, I don't believe this is possible. Does anyone have any ideas or reason that Excel could cause this?
