First remove McAfee, that's the main problem. There is no virus, it's a false positive.
Lets not suggest for people to remove their entire Antivirus...
Rikimon19 McAfee is considered pretty bad, unless you paid for it, I would really suggest you go with another provider such as Kaspersky. (Do your own research)
If you don't want to do that, but still want to play, you need to 'add an exclusion' to McAfee so it ignores the BO2 game folder.It's also known as whitelisting.
If you're simply looking for an explanation - the game does alot of things that malware would do too, such as update itself, make connections to our backend, looks IP addresses for servers, modifies memory etc - plus the files are classed as 'new' since we compiled them recently.
The result is false positive reports, it's one of the reasons most antivirus products have a 'exclude a file or folder' option.
