Yes, I can understand your doubt, but you don't like that, you can put your flat installation into the $PREFIX/bin
directory as usual, then
the scripts create the datfiles (as the old script do) and the dat link to the current dat files, transparently.
In the virus.scanners.conf you must insert $PREFIX as third parameters for the mcafee config line.

So you don't need my "suggested" structured manual installation to use these scripts, it's only a suggestion.

Bye.
