My latest experience with McAfee was a year ago. My netbook came with a 
month trial. In a nutshell, I found the program to be completely 
inaccessible. I couldn't read the screens with either the Jaws cursor or 
the PC cursor. While it did most things in the background, so presumably 
I wouldn't have to interact with it much, there were times when it 
needed me to do something, so it would move to the forground. When it 
did, it would "cover" the whole screen, interfering with my ability to 
interact normally with other programs. If, for example, I was writing a 
document in Word, I would just suddenly hear "space" as I arrowed around 
my document. When I hit alt+tab, I didn't always hear that McAfee was 
open. Instead, I would find out that it was in the forground by asking a 
sighted person what was on my computer screen. I eventually uninstalled 
it, needing sighted help for that as well.

Again, this was last summare, and I was using Jaws 12, but my experience 
is that programs with so many accessibility problems rarely improve very 
quickly.
