Suspicious Script Detected Warning Message

monkeyspanner

Advice needed please.
I am getting a warning message from my anti-virus package. Content is this:
"Suspicious Script Detected
File:MsiExec.exe
Action the Script is attempting to call the delete file method within the File System3 Object
File Path: C\Windows\system32\MsiExec.exe"

Action Options
Stop
Allow
or Cancel(to execute only current method)

Any advice re action to take would be appreciated.

I am also getting a problem with Windows Xp auto update on shutdown. No update is flagged but windows goes into update on shutdown. Last time this occured update started at 3 out of 9 and locked up at 9 out of 9. The Windows update log shows failed updates. Is this connected or a separate problem?

McAfee and yes I know it isn't very good.

Possible other issue.
All updates seem to have installed successfully now apart from KB979906
MS Article 2197103 indicates a known installation issue if Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1 service pack 1 not installed. Mine has Framework ver 3.5
