Oh no, never mcafee by itself... That's be as bad as the GSE (....
word starting with a"c" and ending on a "p") situation we used to
have. We use clamav (primary), mcafee and bitdefender. So far,
they've not let anything through:). And, phishing aside, each has
had their moment of glory (being the sole scanner to detect some
virus).

Yes. I'm surprised it's still there. I never worked out how to
automatically find out if there is an extra.dat and if so what its
filename is.

I would not recommend using McAfee by itself if you want
really prompt automatic signature updates.
