hijack this file making mcaffee warning come up...

I used the link on this site to download hijack this to my computer. I extracted it and now when I open the folder with the extracted file, I get a Mcaffee warning that it has detected a virus and I need to scan my computer. Funny thing is I supposedly uninstalled Mcaffee a couple of weeks ago and installed avast. Could this file contain a virus instead of Hijack this? Do I have a problem on my computer pretending to be Mcaffee??? Adaware and Spybot SD show my computer as clean.

Some older versions of McAfee incorrectly detect HijackThis! as a virus. You'll need to disable McAfee before you try to extract/run it. That may be problematic, since you "supposedly uninstalled it".
