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

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?
