This is a known issue:

McAfee Antivirus reports false positive when checking out WebKit source on
Windows
http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14649

If you would like this issue resolved, please contact McAfee technical support
and reference the case numbers mentioned here:

http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14649#c3

Ask them nicely to update their virus definitions to stop reporting "false
positives" on the WebKit source tree.
