Having used McAfee AV since the mid 80's ---

I disagree. McAfee is as problematic as any AV app. on the market. It's
definitely not worse and it rate on finds is above average.

Ian:

Some older versions might have been considered bloated. I find the v7
Enterprise to be lean.

Lets not also forget about McAfee VirusScan Thin Client v6.1.

Your argument just doesn't hold water.

while mcafee may not be a bad choice, necessarily, it's not hard to
imagine some folks being happier with something else... (and it's gotten
a lot bigger since the days of scan and clean)

You are wise and correct. Circa '88 is about correct, wiped the Jerusalem.B
from a Netware v2.1 network.
Stuck with McAfee ever since. Albeit I did play with CPAV before Central Point
was taken over by P. Norton and dissolved. Remember MSAV is was an OEM version
of CPAV.

I think one will fine McAfee v7 Home Edition and v7 Enterprise will be lighter
than its predecessors. For example, thee is no longer the URL and IP block
capabilities.
