That's *it*. As of *NOW*, I'm no longer using McAfee products.
Here's why...
ftp://ftp.mcafee.com/pub/antivirus/dos/vscan/00-index.txt
[I'm not sure about that exact path -- but here's a quote from that index, 
which features a chunk of the McAfee liscensing agreement.]
> Installing this software constitutes your acceptance of
> the terms and conditions of the license agreement. Please
> read the license agreement before installation. Other
> rules and regulations of installing this software are:
>
> a. The product can not be rented,loaned or leased

> b. The customer shall not disclose the results of

Look at points b and c there -- I can literally not say one single bad thing 
about McAfee if I use it. I can't electronically publish it, nor can I post 
comparison tests.
This is crapola. I'm sure they'd sure me if they could, but I -have- cited 
McAfee as the copyright owner of that chunk of excrement, and nobody said I 
couldn't review the *liscense*.
That said -- anyone know any FTP sites for a -good- scanner?
