no luck trying to fire McAfee

Not sure how many McAfee disciples are on this list, but this is the *fun* one where we all chuckle, right?

My usual concern with antivirus products is their detection and speed for deploying new patterns/dat files.  But here's 
an instance where I am assisting a friend who cannot seem to get rid of the McAfee product and its accompanying 
recurring billing.  Perhaps McAfee has learned from CoolWebSearch and Troj_Dloader, etc, and has figured out how to 
always keep a customer regardless of the customer's wishes.

Found this gripe site of exactly the same thing.  Probably just a coincedence.
