    My experience was that I registered and installed McAfee.  I also 
registered for the 2 year maintenance program at the same time, some 18 
months ago.
    I was then unable to access the McAfee site to download contract updates 
so eventually I downloaded a DAT update from my local BBS.  McAfee then 
refused to run.  I could only get the new DAT to run when I also downloaded 
the SCN update published at the same time.
    When I eventually got a message through the mechanical answering 
machines, I was very tartly told that McAfee did not guarantee that the 
updates published by them would be compatible with my registered software.
    So, when I eventually get my download problem with their site sorted out, 
I am going to be running current DAT files with a SCN engine 2 years old.  
I'll be interested to see what happens.
