If it's only one file, or is not a COM or EXE file, or is less than
2K, you most probably have a false id.  DAME=Dark Avenger Mutation
Engine.  It's what everyone else is calling MtE.  I believe only
McAfee calls it DAME.

If indeed you are using McAfee, they'll probably want a copy of the
reported file to investigate.
