Tried to download innerspace. McAfee seems to think the file has a virus. I could override and download but is it normal to have this kind of message? Do you know why it might generate such a message?

Hello!

We need more information here. Yes, false positives happen from time to time.

1. What URL are you downloading?
2. Can you screenshot what you're saying is McAfee thinking the file has a virus? Typically these false positives are heuristic detections ("guesses") and the message actually indicates that, but the difference between a positive detection and an heuristic detection is lost on most people.

McAfee himself would tell you not to use that software but other than that, I would say check it on https://www.virustotal.com/
