For some reason my Mcafee autoupdater does not complete.
I can run it standalone.  See Below.   But when mailscanner runs 
I get the following messages:
Sep  7 15:02:46 mail update.virus.scanners: Found mcafee installed
Sep  7 15:02:46 mail update.virus.scanners: Running autoupdate for mcafee
But it never updates.
