Just a reminder:  The original poster wanted a _free_ antivirus
software.  McAfee antivirus stuff IS NOT FREE.  The majority of
the software available through ftp is shareware -- try before you
buy.  The authors of these software depend on your honesty and
integrity to buy these software.  Remember, "if you don't support
shareware, it'll go away."  Then you'll have to depend on blind
luck for puchasing commercial programs with ridiculous upgrade 
policies.

I'm not accusing the previous posters of not paying for shareware.
Rather, the original poster was under the assumption that McAfee
software was free.  It's this kind of misconception that is stifling
the shareware market.  Many shareware are just as good or better than
the commercial stuff, at lower costs.  Encourage the authors by
paying for their software.

Thanks,

James.
