I have run McAfee and Malwarebytes on my computer several times over the last week. Sometimes when I am on Internet Explorer, my IE will close and I get a virus scan alert saying that c:\windows\system32\wmisvc.dll is the name and it is detected as Generic.dx!cqw

Sometimes it says clean and delete failed. Other times it says I have deleted the file but it always come back the next day.

I have McAfee DAT 5715

What can I do to remove this virus alert?
