This is true and also some-what annoying. Windows users *have* to install McAfee anti-virus 8 before they can connect to the network. A friend of mine had to uninstall McAfee 10 - seems silly but I suppose it's a good thing in a way. I have McAfee on my Windows 2000 installation, I haven't noticed that it slows down. The only thing I would put it down to, would be scanning all the files on the disc for virii which would slow the machine down but you can't really stop it doing that.
I wouldn't put McAfee on any computer. It's NOD32 for me all the way. It's light-weight, has passed more Virus Bulletin tests than any other scanner and is reasonably priced - particularly when it comes to multiple licenses. Do UEA really insist on McAfee? Incredible!
Mind you, back in those days I didn't have a laptop and only used the Linux boxes in SYS and the DEC Alphas in the CPC centre (they were *superb* - I liked using them even though I wasn't really supposed to).
Those were the days..
