 Hello,
 My Tor installation(in a windows 10)appears to be uneventful for the
 uninitiated like. When I run the the programme for the first time I am
 able to access the web. However, after I close it and attempt to reopen it
 a file gets quarantined by McAfee with the message:

 Item: FIREFOX.EXE; Threat: Real Protect-LS!/FA7DF%DE780B; Detected: Date &
 Time; Status:Detected

 Also, if I try to use proton VPN, Tor take longer to load and McAfee
 deletes it as well. There is an option within McAfee to restore the file
 but after it get erase it I can never launch Tor again unless I re-
 download it from your site... and the cycle starts all over.

 Anyone willing to give advise please, thanks!
