It is weird. The Mir.exe hasn't changed in all this time. It is probably a new virus signature list.

This thread is about the antivirus software wrongly detecting something as an 'Artemis' detection. It has very little to do with the firewall. That is simply a record of blocked attempts to penetrate it. Unless it's a question of the program simply needing permission in the firewall in which case open SecurityCenter Click Web and Email Protection Click Firewall Click Internet Connections for Programs To arrange them alphabetically click the title Program at the top left. Then locate it and make sure it has full permiision, use the Edit button if needed. You can only trust something that is detected by VirusScan and then only if it's detected as a PUP or Possibly Unwanted Program.
if it is being quarantined read below First disable your virus protection: Double-click the taskbar icon to open SecurityCenter Click Virus and Spyware Protection Click Real Time Protection Click the Turn Off button and tell it for how long to stay that way. Then click Navigation (top right) Click Quarantined and Trusted Items (below) & restore the item.

There has to be a way to tell it to ignore mir.exe, surely. Aparantly McAfee took out the feature to ignore files that are being wrongly identifyed as viruses with their 2009 update. (might have that date wrong). They claim that if certain files were being constantly excluded, then virus writers would program viruses to hide within the ignored files.
