I also have McAfee Security Center. While running Clam virus scanner, popup window from McAfee that it blocked and quarantined Exploit-DcomRpc.gen which it found in c:\documents and settings\owner\local settings\temp\clamav. This happened on two separate occasions. Not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ClamWin makes temporary files while scanning. These files do not contain viruses, although they may contain some Clam virus signatures. They are usually removed after the scan or before the next scan. Perhaps McAfee identified a signature as an infection before a temp file could be deleted. I suggest you try to get a copy of the file and upload it to Jotti/VirusTotal for a scan there and see if other AV programs besides McAfee spot anything. If several others spot an infection, it's probably for real, but I don't think it will be. If they spot an infection, then do a complete scan of the computer with McAfee. Let it clean whatever it can. Then see what happens during another ClamWin scan. If the infection comes back, check out the ClamWin Antimalware page for more help.
