McAfee is one horn; Symantec is the other. All their programmers together
couldn't produce a linux subroutine.

This fix works. I had maybe run a free Mcafee Virus Scan at some point. When
I deleted the software it still showed up in windows security. I ran the
MCRP.EXE as well and still showed up.

I ran this fix but I had access denied and some other things that I worked
around. Now just my Computer Associated Software shows up. I don't really
think the Mcafee was "active" but I didn't want to take a chance on firewalls
conflicting. That tends to show things down a bit.

THANKS FOR THE HELP
