More generally I think we should campaign to get most McAfee stuff classified as some kind of badware: scareware, bloatware, nagware etc.

I do very little computer support (only friends and family and the occational coworker) and still I have solved a number of cases lately just by uninstalling anything McAfee related I could find.

Between drive by downloads and blocking internet access if you don't pay for protection it easily gets a place on my badware list at least.
