Hi Victor,

While I haven't heard of this issue previously, could you possibly exclude the "LogMeIn" folder completely from the scans?

    The issues isn't McAfee scanning LogMeIn, that would be a trivial exclusion as you suggested. It's actually LogMeIn that is trying to access a McAfee .db file.

     

    Is there a way to exclude things from LogMeIn's side?

        Were you also using the LMI Antivirus features there?  If so then that would explain the scans and conflicting messages you see.
