Uh... McAfee *IS* a malicious program.  It pretends to be an antivirus 
program, demanding payment for services, and then leaves your computer 
horribly exposed.  Its been that way for the past decade, yet somehow 
they still sell themselves to ISPs as a user-friendly solution, and 
users keep installing the crap, thinking it actually does something 
beyond throwing up flashy warnings...
