The problem is that you have McAfee. Or it could be that nasty .pdf trojan from two years ago again. I ended up having to reinstall windows because of that one.

I don't even have a thrid party antivirus program running.

Unless you're retarded then the pre-installed Microsoft antivirus should be fine.
