vps 120205-0 started alerting a bunch of programs as malware. One of those F/P was related to McAfee Site Advisor. Update to 120205-2. Is it still showing as malware?

I got this one (process 4084 seamonkey.exe memory block ) which I dont know what exactly reports (am not an expert)

and on previous scan I got adobearmhelper.exe as a virus

did a boot scan and pc was clear.. and then again on next scan I got the alert shown on the image

I have the free avast version updated on both engine 6.0/1367 and virus definitions 120205-2

please advice

See Reply #6, your issue isn't really related to the FP problem(s).
